IFEX :: Iranian New Year starts as badly as ever for the press: "(RSF/IFEX) - RSF has condemned the latest negative developments for press freedom that accompanied the arrival of the Iranian New Year in March 2005.
On returning from their New Year's holiday, 80 conservative parliamentarians called for reformist journalist Massih Alinejad to be banned from entering Parliament. In addition, the president of the Association of Iranian Journalists, Ali Mazroi, was banned from leaving the country, and officials also closed two magazines. "
