# The Centre for Human Rights in Iran has strongly condemned Tehran’s proposed legislation to criminalise contact and interviews with foreign media. This comes amid a broader state crackdown on foreign information sharing. The legislation, which is being discussed by lawmakers, could see violators face between six months and two years in prison. The centre says this is not simply an attack on journalists and citizen journalists; it is an attempt to sever the entire Iranian society from the rest of the world by criminalising the free flow of information itself.
