kohta Sepideh Parsa

Iran is one of the countries with the strictest censorshippolicy in the Middle East. Thus, weblogs offer Iranians the only platform to peacefullyexchange their policy thoughts, emotions and opinions by overcoming the boundaries ofgender and social class that have been imposed by the government. Hence, the Iranianpeople can enjoy such democratic pillars as freedom of speech and self-determination albeitto a limited extent.
