Today a seminar entitled “The New Political Role of Internet and Mobile Phone: Example Iran” took place in Brussels with the presence of tens of Iranian and European journalists, political analysts and social activists.
Radio Zamaneh correspondent reports that Ben Roome, Nokia-Siemens representative was questioned about the equipment his company has provided for the Islamic Republic government.
In 2008, through a Nokia-Siemens Company agreement with Iran, the Islamic Republic was provided with equipment that gave it the capability to interfere and monitor the messages of protesters. The people in attendance claimed the sale of this equipment to Iranian government led to the incarceration and death of numerous Iranian activists.
In response, Ben Roome stated: “Nokia typically provides the tracking technology to any state that demands it and primarily the equipment was given to Iran without specific knowledge of the precise nature of their government. In 2009, after understanding the actions of Iran, Nokia stopped providing Iran with the equipment.”
Former Iranian National Television reporter, Reza Valizadeh dismissed Roome’s explanation and called it “Shameful.” He also contended that the German government was also aware of this affair and claimed they should apologize to the Iranian people.
Omid Memarian, the International Campaign for Human Rights researcher and other present journalists presented the European Union Parliament with a series of solutions for improving the situation of media in Iran.
Pressing Iran to stop blocking international media networks and restricting the activities of Iranian state television networks abroad were amongst the proposals.
Omid Memarian said that recent energy sanction imposed by the US against Iran were “to the detriment of the people of Iran” and claimed that restricting international travels of Islamic Republic officials could be more effective.
Barbara Lochbihler, Member of European Union Parliament, as the head of the panel about Iran claimed there is widespread solidarity in the region with the issues in Iran, and Daniel Cohen Bendit, Deputy Chief of European Green Party compared the use of internet in Iran with that in China and claimed internet in China stops the government form being able to completely suppress dissent.
Iranian journalist, Delbar Tavakoli stressed the importance of internet in disseminating the news about Iran’s recent protests and added that this was done not only by journalists and bloggers but more so by ordinary people.

انتقاد از نوکیا زیمنس در همایش ایران در بروکسل
امروز یکم ژوییه 2010، همایشی با نام «نقش تازهی سیاسی اینترنت و تلفن همراه: نمونهی ایران» با حضور دهها نفر از تحلیلگران، روزنامهنگاران و فعالان سیاسی و اجتماعی ایرانی و اروپایی در پارلمان اروپا واقع در بروکسل، پایتخت بلژیک برگزار شد
به گزارش خبرنگار اعزامی «زمانه» به این نشست، گروهی از سخنرانان و دیگر حاضران از آقای بن روم، نماینده شرکت نوکیا-زیمنس در مورد تجهیزاتی که این شرکت در اختیار دولت ایران قرار دادهاست، خواستار توضیح شدند
در سال ۲۰۰۸، قرارداد مشترک شرکت نوکیا-زیمنس با ایران این امکان را به دستگاههای مخابراتی و امنیتی ایران داد تا پیامهای مخالفان را مهار و شنود کنند
به گفته برخی حاضران، فروش این تجهیزات به دولت ایران موجب به زندان افتادن و کشته شدن شمار زیادی از معترضان شدهاست.
آقای روم در پاسخ به اعتراضها گفت که «نوکیازیمنس به صورت عادی اطلاعات ردیابی را در اختیار دولتهایی که بخواهند میگذارد و این تجهیزات نیز ابتدا بدون شناخت دقیق از ماهیت دولت ایران در اختیار این دولت قرار گرفته ولی در سال ۲۰۰۹ با پی بردن از عملکرد دولت ایران، شرکت نوکیا تحویل این دستگاهها را به ایران قطع کردهاستدر ادامه، رضا ولیزاده، خبرنگار پیشین صدا و سیما که ایران را ترک کرده، به شدت به نوکیا-زیمنس اعتراض کرد و سخنان نماینده آن را شرمآور خواند. آقای ولیزاده همچنین دولت آلمان را آگاه از این جریان دانست و خواستار عذرخواهی دولت این کشور از ملت ایران شد
امید معماریان، پژوهشگر کمپین بینالمللی حقوق بشر و از دیگر روزنامهنگاران ایرانی حاضر در نشست نیز، چندین پیشنهاد را در زمینه بهبود وضعیت رسانهای ایران به پارلمان اروپا ارائه کرد؛ فشار به دولت ایران برای متوقف کردن ارسال پارازیت بر روی شبکههای رسانهای و فشار به شبکههای دولتی تلویزیونی ایران که در خارج از کشور آزادانه به فعالیت مشغولند ار جمله این پیشنهادها بودند
امید معماریان تشدید تحریمها مانند تحریمهای اخیر بنزین از سوی آمریکا را «به ضرر مردم ایران» دانست و پیشنهاد محدودیت سفر برای مقامهای جمهوری اسلامی در میان کشورها را داد
بارابارا لوخبیهلِر، مدیر هیأت مربوط به ایران در پارلمان اروپا در بخشی از این هماش، اظهار داشت که «همبستگی عظیمی در منطقه با مسائل ایران وجود دارد» و از حضور گسترده ایرانیان و غیر ایرانیان در این نشست ابراز خوشحالی کرد
دنی کوهن-بنْدیت، نایبرئیس حزب سبزها که سخنران آغازین این سمینار بود وجود اینترنت در ایران را با چین مقایسه کرد و اظهار داشت که «اینترنت در چین هم باعث شده دولت نتواند آزادیها را به طور کامل سرکوب کند
در ادامه، دلبر توکلی یکی از روزنامهنگاران پیشین روزنامههای اعتماد و سرمایه، نقش اینترنت در ارسال صدای جنبش در همان لحظات وقوع، به دنیای خارج را بسیار مهم دانست و افزود که «بسیاری از مردم عادی و نه روزنامهنگاران و وبلاگنویسان» این کار را انجام دادند
در بخشی دیگر، رضا معینی، مدیر بخش ایران گزارشگران بدون مرز، ورود اینترنت به ایران را با ورود تلگراف به کشور مقایسه کرد و اظهار داشت که «اینترنت و تلگراف هر دو از بابت منافع داخلی و خارجی، درگیری و چالش بهوجود آوردهاند

Thanks for giving your ideas with this blog. Furthermore, a delusion regarding the banking institutions intentions if talking about home foreclosure is that the standard bank will not take my payments. There is a certain amount of time which the bank can take payments in some places. If you are very deep inside hole, they’ll commonly call that you pay the actual payment in whole. However, that doesn’t mean that they will have any sort of installments at all. If you and the traditional bank can seem to work some thing out, a foreclosure procedure may halt. However, in the event you continue to miss payments in the new plan, the foreclosure process can just pick up exactly where it was left off.

Thanks for your post. My partner and i have continually seen that most people are needing to lose weight because they wish to appear slim and attractive. Nevertheless, they do not often realize that there are additional benefits for you to losing weight also. Doctors claim that over weight people come across a variety of disorders that can be instantly attributed to the excess weight. The great news is that people who are overweight and suffering from different diseases can reduce the severity of their particular illnesses simply by losing weight. You are able to see a gradual but marked improvement in health whenever even a small amount of weight reduction is accomplished.

This is my Excerpt…
In October I took a trip to Edinburgh, Scotland. While there I purchased a “Whiskey Cake”. It appeared to have fruit in it and I thought it might be a Scottish Fruit Cake. Returning home, my plane went from Edinburgh to London and while waiting for my flight home from Heathrow Airport I browsed through Harrods at the airport. There I saw a fruit cake and bought it. Yesterday I opened both of those and tried them. Mercy! Now I know why many people don’t like fruit cake and why there are a millions jokes about them. Those things were pretty awful! I must have grown up eating only Collins Fruit Cakes because I’ve always loved fruit cake. A few years ago I visited Ukraine and took friends the triple pack that contains the old-fashioned fruitcake, the one with primarily pineapple, and the one with primarily apricot. I briefly explained the tradition of fruitcake to my friends. They loved the cakes, though, oddly enough, the traditional was probably their least favorite. You now have fans in Ukraine! Keep baking!

Hello…
I was looking at some of your articles on this site and I conceive this web site is really instructive! Continue posting ….
In the awesome pattern of things you’ll receive an A+ just for effort and hard work. Exactly where you actually confused us was on all the details. You know, as the maxim goes, the devil is in the details… And it couldn’t be much more correct right here. Having said that, let me say to you just what did deliver the results. Your writing is certainly quite engaging and that is most likely the reason why I am taking an effort in order to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, although I can easily see the jumps in reason you come up with, I am not convinced of just how you appear to connect the points which help to make the actual final result. For the moment I will subscribe to your position but hope in the near future you actually link the facts much better.
Many thanks for your own personal concern plus efforts! These against your webpage is probably great.
