IRNA reports that the House of Cinema has been ordered closed: Iran’s Minister of Culture Mohammed Hosseini says the ministry determined that the 23-year old institution had no legal basis for operations.
The managing director of the House of Cinema, Mohammad-Mehdi Asgarpur, was quoted in Tehran Times as saying, “I believe this letter has no legal weight since disbanding a nongovernmental organization with a verdict issued by the executive power is impossible; however, we are still waiting for the court date, which is on January 11.”
