Rohani condemns Ban Telegram

teheran - Iranian President Hassan Rohani has condemned the prohibition of justice on the use of the Telegram chat app in his country. 'The government wants a secure but not a state-controlled internet,' Rohani wrote on Instagram on Friday.

Rohani said that his government did not order the ban on the popular app and did not approve the measure either. 'We want a free flow of information and the right of citizens to make their own choices on the Internet', the president responded to the affair.

The elimination of Telegram is, according to political observers in Iran, a sensitive defeat for Rohani. He was strongly criticized in the social media. They accused the president of being unable to fist again against the Islamic clergy, which it really has in Iran.
