With parliamentary elections just two days away, voters in Ilam city near the Iran-Iraq border have started a campaign against so-called “BBC Persian candidates". The website Mashregh News published photographs of men around the city — from market vendors to religious students — holding up signs saying they would not support any candidate that had been “promoted” by the BBC, which is reviled by Iranian state media. In the run-up to elections, BBC Persian has reported on a range of candidates running for office, including hopefuls running for the reformist and moderate camps.
