by Andy Sennitt.
The invitation extended to Ezatollah Zarghami, the head of Iran’s national television network, to tour the facilities of Dutch public broadcasters NOS and NPO was cancelled amidst widespread protests by Iranian immigrants and reaction of Dutch parliament and media. Mr Zarghami and a panel from the Seda va Sima Iranian television network were invited for a private visit. Radio Zamaneh, which was informed of this invitation by a Dutch source who did not wish to be identified, immediately released the news on Tuesday, 29 June.
Once the news was disseminated, Iranian and Dutch human rights activist protested the invitation and began organizing a demonstration for today (Monday July 5) which is now cancelled since Ezatollah Zarghami’s visit has been cancelled.
