In the midst of a troubled [since the presidential election, ed.] Iran, the police have begun to physically remove and destroy satellite receivers within residential homes. This is done in a massive effort to prevent people from obtaining news with foreign TV-stations, which are outside the Iranian regime's control.
That is the report of a German human rights organization, saying that Iranian citizens now only have the Internet as an impartial source of information - and that this media is also subject to very strict censorship.
Every internet provider in Iran has been linked to the rest of the world through a central hub inside the National Iranian telecommunications company, TCI. There, an ingenious system has been installed to keep track of all user's movements through cyberspace, recording the electronic communication and allowing to block any unwanted content.
