Amnesty International is reporting that the Iranian government is attacking free speech yet again, with plans to establish "cyber police" to fight "crimes" on the internet.  Amnesty International says that this activity indicates "that they are intensifying their attack on freedom of expression."

In other news, satellite operators NileSat and Badr have dropped Iran’s Arabic-language news network Al-Alam.
