Censorship in the Persian website of BBC!?

 

Unfortunately, despite of several complaints which have been sent to BBC about the systematic censorship in Persian service of BBC against ethnic minorities in Iran especially Azeri minorities, it is still continuing in the Persian radio and website. If the BBC service does not cover the demonstrations of Azeri people (for example the demonstration of Tabriz people on May 22, 2007 which its videos spread out in the internet websites [1]) with this claim that they do not have the trustable news resources, but why they censor the trustable news from English website of BBC in translation to Persian?!

 

On Friday, 20 July 2007, an article with the title "N Karabakh elects separatist head" has been released in English service of BBC world [2]. But in its translation to Persian [3] several unfair censorship and mistranslation have been occurred:

 

1. Mistranslation of the title: (dealing with N karabakh as if it is a UN recognized country!) "Sahakian became president of Karabakh"?! Instead of original title: " N Karabakh elects separatist head".

 

2. Very important parts of the article have been censored e.g.

 

"Nagorno Karabakh is part of Azerbaijan, which has dismissed the vote."

 

"No country currently recognises the enclave's claim."

 

"But the UN, which is considering a plan that offers Kosovo "supervised independence", has rejected any similar settlement for Nagorno-Karabakh."

 

"Azerbaijan says the separatist Armenian authorities came to power in Nagorno-Karabakh as a result of ethnic cleansing and that the enclave must not be allowed to break away."

 

3. In the original article, it is classified in the European section in the website but in the Persian website it is classified in Asian section!!?
