The Supreme Leader promotes himself via Instagram
Arseh Sevom, the NGO promoting civil society and human rights in Iran, posts its latest weekly review:
We would be remiss if we did not start this week's review with congratulations to Iran's Olympic team. Meanwhile, the head of Iran's Hemophilia Center reminds the world of the
unintended consequences of the sanctions: blocked payments for
life-saving medications. Girls and women are told they can no
longer study a wide range of subjects from engineering to educational
studies, while the Supreme Leader posts his first
images using the popular social photo app Instagram.
We get a
reminder of Iran's National
Internet project, which is now scheduled to be unveiled in phases
beginning in September. In another seeming reversal of long-standing
cultural norms, polygamy is
promoted on a television program in Qom province. Imprisoned journalists
challenge heads of the Non-Aligned Movement to visit them in prison
while in Iran for their summit, as more Baha'is are arrested
throughout the country.
