Ayatollah Seyyed Zia Mortazavi: National internet or the protection plan is essentially the confinement of a nation.
Ayatollah Seyyed Zia Mortazavi wrote in a note titled ‘National Internet, Public Confinement’ in the Islamic Republic newspaper.
The fundamental way to escape the current problems and future dangers, as repeatedly emphasized by the wise and caring individuals of the country—many of whom have been sidelined and displeased by you and your policies and narrow-mindedness—is to reform the existing methods. These methods have resulted in the situation we have witnessed over the past three decades, and unfortunately, the words and positions of officials clearly show that things are still the same. What is referred to as the national internet or the protection plan by these officials is, in reality, the confinement of a nation, and the initiators and supporters should know that you cannot confine a nation, especially one as great and freedom-loving as the noble Iranian nation, even with the unsuitable label of ‘national’. As the master said in Nahj al-Balagha, ‘God’s hand is with the group,’ and he said, ‘The one who overcomes with evil is defeated.’ Peace.
