No text messaging

SMS or mobile text messaging is playing a big role in Tehran these days. You can't have a mobile phone and not receive several text messages everyday. Jokes, short news, rumours, etc. they are now officially part of campaigns.

But today, according to ISNA , Saeed Mortazavi, chief prosecutor of Tehran, has released a warning for people who use SMS to spread news, views, and jokes for or against candidates, usually against the fundamentalist candidate, "Mahmoud Ahmadi Nejad":

Those who don't comply "will be prosecuted and their phones will be seized," the note reads.

I'm sorry, I don't think the situation in Iran is same as in the USA or in the UK. I believe the candidates in Iran were all criminals, with different levels of crimes. What kind of democracy is it and what will be their goal? Please find another name for that, democracy has another rules!
