Iran police hunt banned satellite dishes
Iran Focus
Tehran, Iran, Aug. 20 – Iran’s police forces have been instructed to use
all means, including helicopters, to locate and confiscate
privately-owned satellite dishes, which are illegal in Iran.
A senior police commander in the north-eastern province of North
Khorassan told local journalists in the provincial capital Mashad on
Saturday that his forces have been using choppers to spot the satellite
dishes and report them to ground units, which would then search the
suspected homes and seize the dishes. Owners are imprisoned and expected
to pay a heavy fine.
The local security forces commander said dozens of people had been
arrested recently in the province for installing the dishes.
The Islamic Republic banned satellite dishes in 1995. The crackdown on
satellite dishes was prompted by broadcasts from Iranian opposition
groups whose television programs reportedly have a large audience in Iran.
The police commander said the security forces were cracking down on
other “social vices”, including alcohol consumption, and had arrested
many people on these charges.
