Image of Iran's defense minister in Bolivia censored inside Iran
Iran's defense minister was forced yesterday to interrupt his diplomatic trip to Bolivia after Argentina demanded his arrest in connection with the deadly 1994 bombing of a Jewish centre in Buenos Aires. Vahidi is on Interpol's Wanted list.
But what was censored inside Iran was the following image (courtesy of Yahoo and Associated Press) of Vahidi seated among 3 female Bolivian officials (without Islamic hair cover). Iran's strict Islamic laws prohibit mixed gender seating in public events.
