A woman who serves as a city councilor in Bushehr near the Caspian says she was dismissed as the spokesperson for the council because she had a Facebook account. Azam-ol-Sadat Hossaini still retains her council seat. The council chairman told the daily Sharq the Facebook page had nothing to do with her dismissal as spokesperson—but he didn’t say why she was dismissed. Hossaini’s Facebook entries largely described council sessions and included some commentary on them.
