Mohammad Javad Shakouri Moghaddam, the founder of Sabaidea Holding, which owns Aparat and Filimo brands, announced in a post on X social network that IRIB has sued him for broadcasting a series of programs on Filimo and requested legal action against him.
According to Ideaagency, in this post, which has been published along with a picture of the complaint verdict of IRIB’s deputy and the head of Satra, a complaint request has been sent to the prosecutor of Qom in cyber space affairs. The complaint also mentions the publication of photos and images and materials that violate public modesty.
Mohammad Javad Shakouri Moghadam wrote in this regard: “Now I have received the notification of IRIB’s complaint. The deputy of that organization has requested the judiciary to prosecute me for broadcasting football matches and broadcasting Joker, Actor, Set me Free, The Fall and three other series along with the removal of these series from Filimo. In this post, he emphasized that their main party is IRIB, not the monitoring arm of this organization, i.e. Satra.
In this letter, again referring to the structure of Satra, which is associated with many uncertainties according to experts, it is emphasized as always that the responsibility for issuing licenses and regulating sound and The all-encompassing image in the virtual space is at Satra’s disposal.
Also, in this letter, the vice president of IRIB and the head of Satra emphasized that live broadcasting is exclusively at the disposal of IRIB and Aparat cannot enter in this field. On the other hand, it has been emphasized that while they have given the license to broadcast Joker, Actor, Set Me Free, The Fall, etc. series in Filimo, if the amendments considered by Satra are applied to them, But this platform has refused to make these reforms.
Satra is the monitoring arm of IRIB in the field of audio and video. Many experts, including VOD network managers, have been declaring for years that due to the dependence of this organization on IRIB, Satra cannot act impartially and has practically created a monopoly in this field.
Since last week, Satra’s request to Aparat to prevent the broadcast of Adel Ferdosipour’s football report, as well as the broadcast of “Akonon” program with Soroush Sehat’s performance, had been in the news. Shakouri Moghaddam had protested following the pressure that IRIB was putting on them through the Satra organization (affiliated to IRIB) and announced that from now on, he would mediate any inappropriate request from this organization.
