Recently, the Iranian regime prevents users from using the Internet by blocking internet access in Rojhelat (East Kurdistan). With different methods the Iranian regime tries to prevent mass awareness and inform the public, particularly with overseas in order to achieve its political goals.

It was also reported that even with the filter breaker will not open web pages, also any site that is inconsistent with the provisions of the Islamic Republic is not visible.
Most of these web sites, including news sites, social networks and official websites of opposition parties in Iran. This site is blocked by the government so that citizens will not be able to access the media outside Iran.
It is also reported that internet lines in Iran is controlled by intelligence agents and Ettelaat forces are control in any way someone who associated with political and civil activists outside Iran. After identifying the exact location of a person using a specific technical tool, they are attempting to arrest citizens.

Meriwanian activist has not been charged yet by the regime’s intelligence
It does not limit the pressure and threats by the Iranian regime against activists and their families. According to report from Firat News Agency, a month before the Kurdish civil activist Dana Lencawayi (Lenjabadi) from Meriwan has been arrested and Sine (Sanandaj) Ettelaat has not determined the cause of his arrest yet. Also prison officials have refused to meet with his family.
They were able to contact their children via prison phone of Sine in 13 February. Furthermore Meriwan Intelligence has stated “He will be detained for up to two months in Ettelaat Office”.
