Syria takes part in the 10th meeting of the General Assembly of the Islamic Radios and Televisions Union in Tehran

The 10th meeting of the General Assembly of the Islamic Radios and Televisions Union kicked off on Tuesday in Tehran with the participation of Syria’s Information Minister Imad Sarah who made a statement through video conference technology.

Representatives of the Assembly’s member states as well as political experts and cultural intellectuals are taking part in the meeting which is held under the title “Media Justice and Freedom of Expression”.

The Radios and Televisions Union establishment with approximately 228 members from 33 countries with 22 various languages and representing 130  satellite channels, 53 radios and 32 media institutions, 9 news agencies and 4 space institutions are engaged in the activities of this one-day meeting.

 The 10th session of the General Assembly of the Islamic Radios and Televisions is being held simultaneously in Baghdad, Beirut, Gaza, Kabul, Istanbul and Sanaa.

A documentary on the Palestinian media institutions that were destroyed by the Israeli occupation forces in the recent aggression on the Gaza Strip will be screened in the morning session. In addition, a new Secretary General of the union is to be elected.

In a statement during the session, Chief of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) Abdolali Ali-Asgari said that the resistance media will be stronger than ever, noting the vandalism and the US-Zionist arrogance practiced by the United States against the media of the resistance.

 “By blocking websites linked to the Iranian government, the US had acted against the law, which indicated its weakness,” Ali-Asgari stressed, pointing out that “the US has boasted about having freedom of speech, but in fact, it did the opposite.”

He added: “The Iranian blocked websites will find another way to broadcast their messages to the world. We are at wartime and an international movement is needed to uncover the brutality of the enemies against the oppressed people.”
