In Iran, don’t mess with the Police!

A month ago, Farzad Hasani (Persian: فرزاد حسنی), a famous TV showman, broke the taboo of media asking the real questions from the administration figures. In a frank discussion with the head of Tehran Police, Commander Radan (Persian: رادان), he asked him, if he had seen the mobile video which circulated the web a while ago, in which Police kicks a screaming girl into a Police patrol. He added “You have to stop such behaviors in the Police force”. That was enough for Hasani to be suspended and then moved to a less important show.

At the time, conservative forces got mad at Hasani and asked for all sorts of punishments for him. According to the right-wing website Rajanews, they have found the reason now. Reportedly, Hasani was arrested in a “pervert night party” and was to be “dealt with according to the Sharia” [Persian]. Good news is, he was able to pay a fine. Bad news is, journalists will think twice before asking their questions.
