Iran orders suspension of news agency
0 Comments | AFP, June, 2008
TEHRAN (AFP) — Iran on Monday ordered the Fars news agency, one of the country's most prominent news organisations and normally considered close to the government, to close for three days for publishing "false news".
"We have received a letter from the commission for surveillance of non-governmental press agencies ordering us to halt our operations for three days," the agency's editor-in-chief Abbas Tavangar told AFP.
The official IRNA news agency reported that Fars had been "suspended for publishing false news and disturbing the public order."
No further details were given but Fars had on Sunday published a report saying that Iran's central bank governor Tahmasb Mazaheri was stepping down and being replaced by Vice President Parviz Davoudi.
