MNA Special Assistant to the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament for International Affairs severely criticized the way freedom of speech works in Western societies.
In a Sunday tweet, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian noted that he had posted a photo of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Instagram but the social media platform has removed it
It is the western model of freedom of speech? he framed.
I sent the following Instagram post two days ago with a photo of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah Secretary-General and the champion of the fight against terrorism. Instagram removed the post and issued this warning, he wrote, posting the following photo.
Amir-Abdollahians post about Hazbollah came days after UK Home Secretary Sajid Javid said that the British government will designate the entire Hezbollah organization as a terrorist entity as of Friday, subject to the approval of the parliament.
In an earlier tweet on February 28, he wrote, #Hezbollah is considered as the greatest regional actor in combatting #terrorism. World should appreciate the stabilizing role of #Lebanese Hezbollah. It's good for the #UK to proscribe some of her terrorist-nurturing allies, rather than Hezbollah.
