The Iranian Americans for Liberty strongly condemn social media giant Instagram for suspending the “Hamgam” profile. The “Hamgam” account was providing real-time coverage of the brutality of the IRGC in the Isfahan province of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

We call on Instagram to immediately re-instate this account. By suspending the account, they have silenced the voices of the liberty seeking Iranian people and that is simply unacceptable to our organization and to our community. Do the right thing, Instagram!
