Ahmadinejad Shuts Down Websites Office
23rd Sep 2007

A Popular news website critical of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has had its offices shut down.

Baztab.com is the subject of a legal complaint from the Iranian presidency.

The site, which published a range of news, including articles critical of Ahmadinejad's economic policies and his cabinet appointments, was shut down in February for "acting against the constitution and spreading lies."

The site was equally critical of Iran's previous government of president Mohammad Khatami for being too soft in Iran's nuclear standoff with the West.
