NCRI – Former Revolutionary Guards commander of the Iranian regime has criticised the regime for censoring his speech on ‘national security grounds’.
Rezaei who is a candidate of Iranian regime’s shame election said: “Parts of my speeches have now been censored twice. I am law abiding and spoke out to prevent the law being broken in the country.
“But it was not right to tell me later that speech was censored for security reasons.”
He added: “If we liken a country to a bird with two wings, with one wing being politics and security, while the other is economy and life, then in the Islamic Republic the political and security wing has grown bigger.”
In his speech on May 15, Rezaei said a father whose three sons had been killed in the Iran-Iraq war now had five more sons all with bachelor and masters of science degrees, but that they were all unemployed.
Rezaei said the father had told him he would kill himself if this problem was not resolved soon.
Another part of the censored speech censored referred to the discrimination of ethnic minorities in Iran.
Ezatolallah Zarghami, the head of Iranian regime’s TV network, said: “Only one word that had some national security implications was deleted, and it was for his own benefit that it was.”
Mohsen Rezaei is among the eight candidates cleared by Iranian regime’s vetting Guardian Council to run for president.
The June 14 poll to replace Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is an exercise in political manipulation, stage-managed by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, his Guardian Council and the factions pushing and pulling for power behind the scenes.
