Iran reform candidate says state TV cuts broadcast
None
The spokesman for a pro-reform Iranian presidential candidate says state television cut off his campaign broadcast unexpectedly, citing technical problems. Witnesses say Mohammad Reza Aref's Monday campaign pitch on the Jam-e Jam channel was stopped 15 minutes after it started.
Aref is one of two pro-reform candidates cleared by the Islamic Republic's constitutional watchdog, the Guardian Council, to run in June 14 elections. (AP)
