Iran state media under fire over distortion of Mursi’s speech

[BLACKEAGLE]

Iran’s state Radio and Television has come under fire for tampering with the speech of Egyptian President Mohammed Mursi during a summit of Non-Aligned States held in Tehran.

Critics said a translator for the Iranian media distorted President Mursi’s speech to make it fit with the Islamic Republic’s official propaganda discourse.

While covering Mursi’s speech, the official television network refused to translate the Egyptian president’s statements critical of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Iran is the Syrian regime’s main ally and provided it with both diplomatic and military support during the crisis.

Digarban website, which monitors conservative media in Iran, wrote that the interpreter of the state television, “in an unprecedented action,…falsified parts of Mursi’s speech by refusing to translate Mursi’s sever attack on the Syrian regime.”

Some websites close the Iranian regime, such as Jahan News and Asriran, published the Egyptian president’s speech without the part where he was criticizing Syrian President Assad.

Jahan News described President Mursi as an “emerging president” and described his talk about Assad as “extremist” and “irrational.”

When Mursi spoke about the Arab Spring countries and mentioned Libya, Tunisia, Egypt, Syrian and Yemen, the translator replaced “Syria” with “Bahrain.”

Amid Mukadam, an Iranian media activist, told AlArabiya.net that he heard “Bahrain” mentioned three times in the Persian translation, when it was never mention in the original speech of Mursi.

Mukadam said the Persian interpreter “looked confused which means that he was intent on inserting some expressions in Mursi’s speech and deliberately used “al-Sahwa al-Islamiya” (Islamic Awakening) instead of “Arab Spring.”

”This would have never happened if he was not ordered to do so by higher authorities,” Maqdam added. “This is a blunt distortion of an official live speech delivered by a president and heard by the world and did not have any of those expressions.”

He explained that the distortion of Mursi’s speech demonstrated how the regime in Tehran was more concerned about how its people view issues than what President Mursi thinks and says.

The Iranian state television reportedly also altered remarks on Syria by the United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and U.N. General Assembly President Nasser Abdul Aziz.

Your country,along with Saudis and Qatar is sending terrorism to Syria at its best.You guys are doing very professional in that matter.

This is not the first or only time similar things have happened. It seems Iranian regime's close relationship with India has taken its toll on their media. Only Indian, American and so called "Israeli" media are known to propagate so much junk. A fine example of Iranian regime's propaganda is seen below.

Fars News Agency :: 50% of Scientific Researches in Muslim World Carried out by Iranian Scientists

50% of Scientific Researches in Muslim World Carried out by Iranian Scientists
TEHRAN (FNA)- Seyed Mehdi Rezayat, the Head of Human Resources Development Workgroup of the Iran Nanotechnology Initiative Council, announced that 50% of the scientific researches carried out in the Muslim world are led by Iranian scientists.




Rezayat made the remarks at the opening ceremony of the Tenth Nanotechnology Conference for University Students which was held in Amir Kabir University of Technology on February 22, 2012, with the participation of Dr. Rezayat, Dr. Alireza Rahayee, the Dean of Amir Kabir University Technology and a number of academic professors and researchers.

According to the Dean of Amir Kabir University Technology, textile engineering is one of the most effective industries in the field of nanotechnology application. "The attention of this university's students to the applications of nanotechnology in textile industry caused us to create a new field of study at MSc level, entitled 'Fiber Structures' in 2009. This fact resulted in an extensive evolution in textile engineering," he said.

Dr. Rezayat, for his part, pointed to the role of Iran in the development of science and technology in the world, and said that Iran has an effective presence in the scientific activities in the world.

"Undoubtedly, Iran is among the key players in the field of knowledge production including nanoscience and nanotechnology. The participation of Iran in Japan Nanotechnology Exhibition confirms this fact," he underlined.

Referring to the fact that Iran ranks 12 in the world and first in the Islamic world in the field of nanotechnology, the Head of Human Resources Development Workgroup of Iran Nanotechnology Initiative Council said, "Iranian researchers and scientists carry out 50% of the researches in the Islamic world. It indicates Iran's important possession in the field of nanotechnology."

Dr. Rezayat said that 100 domestically-made products have so far been registered in the field of nanotechnology. "Although there are strict regulations for issuing certificates for the products in the field of medicine and health, we have succeeded in the acquirement of certificates for six products in this field from the Ministry of Health, Treatment, and Medical Education. Sinadoxosome anti-cancer medicine is the latest nanotechnology-based medicine that has acquired the certificate," he concluded.

This claim even betrays the Iranian government released claims by Dr Jafar Mehrad a few weeks ago. What a shame!

The title is misleading,it doesn't say overall science,just in Nanotechnology,and this is right,Iran is the best in Muslim world in Nanotechnology.Now tell me,how is that a propaganda.

They are even making themselves look funny because they put things from iranian sources and fake propoganda things fed to them , lets leave them in their fantasy world

show me source iran is leading in nanotech? show me a list of countries , no fars or press tv

^^friend,have you any proof for denying our claim that 50% of Scientific Researches in Muslim World Carried out by Iranian Scientists.?

we dont bring proof to deny , you bring proof to show , and not fars news agency.

Your country,along with Saudis and Qatar is sending terrorism to Syria at its best.You guys are doing very professional in that matter.

tell me once our country sending men with bombs blow himself in taiwan , india and other countries ???? stop denying it everybody knows anyway .

Yes sir. There are many such proofs including the press conference by Dr Jafar Mehrad from Iran.
For Iran to produce 50% of scientific research/publications in Muslim world, Iran must produce the same number/amount of scientific publications/research as the rest of the Muslim world.

Dr Jafar Mehrad says something else.

Iran - 19,559
Turkey - 16,552+ (Sweden produced 16,552. Turkey produced more, so Turkey is ranked 19th and Sweden ranked 20th)
Saudi - 5,787
Egypt - 5,629

Only these three countries produced more papers than Iran, according to Dr Jafar Mehrad, Sir. Whole Muslim world consists of 57 countries, 56 of these countries produced much more scientific research than Iran, Sir.

The title is misleading,it doesn't say overall science,just in Nanotechnology,and this is right,Iran is the best in Muslim world in Nanotechnology.Now tell me,how is that a propaganda.

I don't say that Iran being best in nanotechnology is propaganda, but the title says 50% of all scientific researches in Muslim world is carried out by Iranian scientists. As I have reported Dr Jafar Mehrad's presentation, only Turkey, Egypt and Saudi Arabia produce much more than Iran, so whole Muslim world produce multiple times more than Iran in scientific research.

But I think I said it once,the title is misleading,IRAN IS NOT PRODUCING 50% of total science and research in Muslim World,but only in Nano science alone,and that's natural since most ME countries have not invested much in nano tech.
THE only thing wrong in here it the thread title,nothing else.

1. Thank you for admitting that the article in Fars News is bogus, sir.
2. If the title of an article is false, does not it mean that the whole article is nothing more than a joke?
Can I write that "Bangladesh is the second greatest exporting country in the world after China" because Bangladesh is the second greatest garment/clothing exporting country in the world after China? It is true that Bangladesh is the second largest garment/clothing exporting country in the world, after China, but it is not true that Bangladesh is the second greatest exporting country in the world, after China.

3. Even in Nanotechnology, Iran does not produce 50% of scientific output of the Muslim world according to Iranian sources.

Iran - 3011

Turkey - 905
Malaysia - 777
Saudi Arabia - 610
Egypt - 479
Tunisia - 159
Algeria - 114

Above 6 - 3044

Nano Statistics - Home

4. As you have correctly said, it is because Iranian govt has wisely invested in nanotechnology that Iranian nanotechnology development is ahead of other Muslim majority countries, but that does not mean one can make up stories, or that one should use this achievement to belittle other countries. With correct govt decisions and strategy, things can change for the better.

5. Good luck to Iran, because it looks like Iran might publish more than countries like Italy, Spain, Taiwan and others in the near future.
