Iran Threatens: the ‘Era of Mercy’ is Over
The Iranian regime announced yesterday that they’re going to be severely cracking down on protesters who use cell phones and email, as technology continues undermining totalitarianism.
The police chief, Ismail Ahmadi Moghaddam, said at a news conference on Friday that those who used e-mail and cellphones to organize protests would be punished even more severely than the protesters themselves.
“After all the evidence we saw on Ashura, our tolerance has come to an end, and both the police force and the judiciary will be confronting them with full force,” Mr. Ahmadi Moghaddam said, according to Iran’s semiofficial news service ILNA.
