Washington-Sana
Facebook has confirmed that its social networking site and its Instagram application are blocking publications denouncing the assassination of the Quds Force Commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, in a US missile attack last week.
The company justified in a statement that the American network CNN received a copy of its decision to submit to the US Penal Code, while Iranian government spokesman Ali Rabei criticized on Twitter for social networking, describing Instagram's actions as undemocratic.
The Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani was killed on the third of this month in an assassination attack carried out by American planes near Baghdad International Airport and also led to the death of Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, deputy head of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization and a number of their comrades.
