The shutdown is taking place on the advice of the British police, says the company itself. The threats against the media house are said to have become so serious that it is no longer possible to protect the employees at the channel, or other people who travel in the vicinity. – I can’t believe that it has gone this far, says leader Mahmood Enayat to AFP. – A foreign state has become such a significant threat to the British people, on British soil, that we are forced to move. The election is said to have been taken late on Friday, after an Austrian-Iranian man was arrested last week in the vicinity of the media house in Chiswick, west London.

The station still broadcasts from its offices in Washington, USA; according to Enayat. The last time news visited the media house of Iran International in London, it was surrounded by armored vehicles.

Two of the journalists at the station had then received death threats from the authorities in Iran. Iranian assassination groups have long threatened several of the journalists at the media house in Chiswick.

Iranian state media claim that the media company is owned by a Saudi Arabian businessman and that Saudi Arabia is behind the content. The company denies to news that the Saudi state is involved in any way. Iran Human Rights: – An irreplaceable information channel Head of the Oslo-based organization Iran Human Rights, Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, sees the shutdown as a “political act” by the British authorities. – There is no doubt that this is based on pressure from the Iranian regime, and threats of terror, he says to news. – I find it very surprising that a country like Great Britain should not be able to protect a TV channel, and in other words also freedom of expression in its own country. Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam is head of Iran Human Rights in Oslo.

We have not had anything like this before, and it is what the regime in Iran dislikes so much. – It is there that Iranians see that protests take place, listen to the families of those who have been killed, and see the photos that people send in. It is an irreplaceable information channel right now. Amiry-Moghaddam says the organization has documented many threats against journalists who write about Iran from the regime and groups connected to the regime. If countries like Great Britain refuse to protect those who are insecure, he believes it is a signal that “Europe is not willing to stand up to pressure from Iran”. RSF believes that Iran has expanded the fight against the media. When the broadcaster asked the Iranian Minister of Intelligence, Etail Khatib, about these attempts, he said that all cooperation with Iran International was seen as a threat to national security in the country. He also threatened Britain for “propaganda”, and said the country would “suffer for its actions that have led to uncertainty”. Several of the presenters of Iran International are wanted on this poster in Tehran.

Get ready to dive, because we’re coming to dive. The fight against independent media sources was stepped up after the demonstrations broke out last September in response to the death of Mahsa Amini. They have since expanded and become nationwide. The protesters are now demanding a complete regime change in Iran. Late last year, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) wrote that the Iranian regime had extended its fight against media criticism to newspapers and journalists based abroad. – Every day we see new restrictions against independent media and journalists, and the restrictions have extended beyond national borders, said leader Christophe Deloire. The latest wave of demonstrations in Iran started after the death of Mahsa Amini. There is no freedom of the press in Iran, but several independent newspapers are based abroad.
