It addresses the human rights practices of governments of all political stripes, of all geopolitical alignments, and of all ethnic and religious persuasions. In internal wars it documents violations by both governments and rebel groups. Human Rights Watch defends freedom of thought and expression, due process of law and equal protection of the law; it documents and denounces murders, disappearances, torture, arbitrary imprisonment, exile, censorship and other abuses of internationally recognized human rights.
Human Rights Watch began in 1978 with the founding or Helsinki Watch by a group of publishers, lawyers and other activists.

» GUARDIANS OF THOUGHT, LIMITS ON FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION IN IRAN
Author: Sarvenaz Bahar
Published: August 1, 1993
Type: Report In this report, which covers primarily the period 1989-1993, Middle east Watch examines the various mechanisms of state control of expression and presents more than sixty individual cases (and one group case involving 162 persons) of Iranian writers, filmmakers, journalists and intellectuals who have been imprisoned, prosecuted or otherwise punished for the content of their work or whose work has been banned and censored. The breadth of censorship goes well beyond the cases examined here; these only serve to illustrate tactics of direct and often violent pressure by vigilante groups, of vilification campaigns, of formal censorship, and of the power play between different pressure groups within the ruling elite. The report's focus in on artistic and journalistic expression, but we also include material on some well-known cases of suppressed political expression, Also included are general assessments of the academic environment and Iranian cultural heritage.
