Iran’s Intelligence Minister Heydar Moslehi has publicly admitted hacking into the e-mail of opposition members. E-mails were the most important tool of communication between opposition members during last year’s postelection protests, he says. Iranian authorities have not managed to fully control the Internet, and opposition activists remain active there. Comments could be aimed at creating fear among opposition members who rely heavily on the Internet to connect with each other, to spread news about arrests and the plight of jailed activists.
