Maya Neyestani illustrates the warning of Iran's Police Chief against films and television showing people eating chicken, as it encourages the poor "to stab the rich"
0635 GMT: Political Prisoner Watch. The detentions of three members of the Baha'i faith --- Bakhtiyar Rasekhi and his wife and daughter, Farhnaz Na`imi and Farin Rahimi --- have reportedly been extended.
The three were among Baha'is arrested on 5 January as they marked the Day of Iranian Youth. They are charged with propaganda against the regime in favour of opposition organisations and groups; spying for the benefit of foreigners; promoting deviant Baha’i ideas; supporting the apostasy of Muslims; and blasphemy against Islam.
0530 GMT: A series of assurances in Iranian State media this morning --- on the military front, Press TV features the words of Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari, “We do not seek to disturb the security of the region, we want to establish security in the region....We can stand against any threat and protect our interests and the country’s maritime borders.”
For its top story, IRNA chooses a reassurance on the economy, "New Request of Some Countries for Petrochemical Products".
Fars, however, has a much different emphasis, turning to the US and the past to proclaim that World Trade Center Building 7, next to the Twin Towers, was destroyed by a bomb inside the building on 11 September 2001.
