The first act of repression and intensification of presidential censorship even before being elected: Instagram filtering order for fear of boycotting the elections.


A letter entitled "Very Confidential" has arrived in the hands of Internet researcher Nariman Gharib, showing the judiciary's censorship and repression of clerical terrorists.

Prior to the election, he sought to filter Instagram and tighten restrictions on Google Play and VIPs. Following the publication of this letter in Iran International, the Media Center of the Judiciary confirmed the filtering of Instagram in the notifications and at the same time announced the withdrawal of the implementation of this order. A statement from the judiciary said that the action of Javad Javidnia, the Deputy Chief Justice of Tehran, was an administrative violation and that he had been prosecuted by the Disciplinary Court of Judges.
