It is well known that Iran has not been truthful about Corona. The Iranian government has lied to the world about the deaths of Iranian people. The Iranian state say that 40,000 Iranian have perished but other sources say that this is actually 150,000. This is more than Italy! Why does the government try to cover this up?
This is the latest example of the Iranian governments control and censorship over Iranian people. It also shows how far the Iranian state will go to protect itself from scrutiny. What has the government done to stop Corona. Why has it taken so long to begin lockdown. And is it too late?
It is more important than ever that Iranians have access to the Internet. Iranians are the only people who know what is really going on. Corona has come at a time where Iran continues to control internet access and service providers. Ever since the November 2019 protests Iranian government has stepped up its attempts to censor the Iranian people and hide them from the world.
Last year I blogged about how to avoid Iranian censorship by using Tor to overcome government barriers. This is now more relevant and necessary because of Corona. Maybe in ten years we will know the truth about Corona. Until then the people must continue to document the truth.
