> Iran’s parliament passed the bill by 174 votes to six, despite cabinet opposition. It would punish Iranians who speak to outlets the Intelligence Ministry designates as hostile with up to two years in prison, fines and flogging. The bill is not yet law and must be reviewed by the Guardian Council.
