The popular Los Angeles-based Iranian satellite network, National Iranian TV (NITV) has been forced to cut off the broadcasts to Iran due to serious financial problems.

The SMCCDI Secularist Movement has details:

One of the main bridges of communication with Iran, which is the Los Angeles based “National Iranian TV” (NITV), has been forced to cut off its satellite broadcasting due to financial problems.
Such a bad timing couldn’t have come at a worst time, as; the well trusted and popular NITV has prepared, since months, the ground for massive demonstrations at the occasion of the banned “Tchahar-Shanbe Soori” (Fire Fiest) on March 14th. Ä…Å

We ask from all people of good will to help out financially as able to do so, to support directly NITV as quickly as possible so it can resume its satellite broadcast programming for Iran. Such noble action is vital and of the most importance, especially, with the approach of key dates which are the celebration of Iran’s National Heritage Ceremonies qualified as “pagan” by barbarian Islamists.

We call on the US Legislative body and the State Department to consider immediate proper measures to support this trusted and irreplaceable digital tool which is necessary in the freedom process of Iran.
These legitimate aspirations for liberty cannot be obtained in isolation or silence, and NITV is essential to the contact that we and other non-violent opposition groups have inside Iran.
With this line of communication re-opened, we can better defeat the deception tactics of the Islamic Republic regime, and better inform the people.Ä…Å
