Reasons for License Revocation
In 2008, the Press Supervisory Board located in Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance of Iran revoked the magazine’s license on a charge of ”breaching the Iranian constitution”. Although, according to the magazine’s authorities, this was an unreal allegation and the true reason for that license revocation was the connection of the magazines with Elia M (Peyman Fattahi) and Elyasin Community as well as a number of published articles in field of marriage and creative speech written based on Elia’s teachings. Some of those articles are as follow:
- Ruling the worlds
- Order the mountains to rise!
- Invisible chains in choosing your spouse
- Ambiguity is the key of attractiveness
- Creative words are the magic beans!
- Can we change our spouse?
- Time robbers
- How to express our love in another way
- With whom we should have a relationship?
