Iran: alignment

Amnesty International said that the Iranian parliament must scrap a draft law which will seriously undermine independent non-governmental organizations in Iran.
This law, analyzed by the Netherlands-based NGO Arseh Sevom, requires all NGOs in Iran to register with a new and unaccountable body linked to the Intelligence Ministry and to the Basij, which will also be able to revoke registration.
Parts of the bill have already been passed in the Iranian parliament.
