伊朗電視禁播“三角戀”節目

伊朗國家電視臺發佈禁令，嚴禁國內電視臺播放誘導“三角戀”的電視節目，禁止出現男性半裸上身的畫面。同時，禁令還要求伊朗影視製作方避免拍攝婚禮、家庭聚會以及職場辦公等男女同時出現的畫面。有批評人士指出，此項禁令的推出意義不大，因爲國內電視臺一般都不會播出禁令所指的節目，唯一會出現男性半裸上身畫面的節目只是摔跤和游泳比賽而已。伊朗實行嚴格宗教法律，影視節目都會避免出現異性親密相處的畫面。不過很多伊朗人都私自安裝衛星電視接收天線收看國外的影視節目。

Iran's state television has banned programs featuring provocative love stories or shirtless men in an apparent bow to hard-line Muslim clerics complaining about such scenes in foreign movies, Iranian newspapers reported Tuesday.

Since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Iranian TV and movie productions have avoided scenes showing the close mixing of the genders, which is discouraged in Iran. Iranian actresses in domestic productions also appear in Islamic dress that covers them from head to toe.

Through illegal satellite dishes, however, many Iranians are able to see foreign TV shows and movies. And some clerics also complain about programs on state TV that show men and women working together in the same offices or otherwise mingling or romantically involved, as well as makeup worn by Iranian actresses in domestic productions.

Reports by several Iranian dailies, including Tehran-e Emrouz, said the state broadcasting company banned such programming on state channels. The ban included specific mentions of "half-naked men" and provocative romantic tales such as "love triangles."

It also appealed to Iranian producers to avoid images of the sexes mixing at "wedding ceremonies, family parties, work places and celebrations."

Pouria Alemi, a satirist for the pro-reform Etemaad daily, ridiculed the decision in a column Tuesday, noting that state channels currently do not show such scenes anyway and wondering if the measure should instead be aimed at Hollywood.

The only half-naked men on Iranian TV are in wrestling and swimming competitions, he wrote.

Iranian TVs do not broadcast women's sporting events in which athletes' heads and bodies are not covered, such as swimming
