Paris streets
witness images of Khamenei as enemy of press freedom
Images of Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei has been posted in the
streets of Paris as press freedom enemy #1.
Marking ‘Press Freedom Day’, Reporters Sans Frontiers launched a
campaign on Tuesday, May 3rd condemning regimes oppressing press and
media freedoms.
A French graphic company has for the fifth consecutive year
voluntarily installed related posters in this regard throughout the streets of
Paris. These posters include images of 12 regime leaders identified as enemies
of press freedom. Khamenei is amongst the 12 such figures whose images were
seen in these posters.
“Iran is ranked 169th in this year’s annual RSF report. 38
journalists are currently behind bars in Iran,” was the text describing
Khamenei’s image.
This poster also explains how journalists in Iran are interrogated,
tortured and accused of charges such as espionage.
