Iran shuts down news website over image of decapitated woman

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran has shut down a news website after it published a gruesome image of a man holding a large knife on one hand and what was said to be the head of his wife in the other. The state-run IRAN newspaper on Monday says a media supervisory board the previous day decided to close Rokna website because of its continuing to “publish images and issues that violate public decency.” Authorities have arrested the man and his brother over the killing in the southwestern city of Ahvaz. The photograph and a video of the victim have tens of thousands of views on social media. The case is under investigation.
