Photo sharing service Instagram yesterday reopened an account dedicated to Iran’s revolutionary leader Ayatollah Khomeini, days after having closed it in the run-up to the 26th anniversary of his death.
The @EmamKhomeini account, which published rare or unseen photos of the Islamic Republic’s founder, had 100,000 followers before it was removed in late May.
“Instagram in an e-mail announced the deletion of the page ... and only provided the automated generic text banning violent, pornographic or advertisement content,” according to Iranian media.
Another account, @EmamKhomeiny, was created to replace it as Iran prepares to mark the anniversary on Thursday of Khomeini’s death.
