Tehran, YJC. Ministry of Information has said that the international satellite telephone company and other organizations have delayed in positioning the Iranian hikers lost in the Himalayas.
Ministry
of Information and Communications Technology Head of Public Relations and
Information Ali Eftekhari in an interview with Mehr News Agency provided
comments on the efforts by his respective organization to track the three lost Iranian
hikers said "Correspondence was made with the international satellite
telecommunication operator whose service the hikers used; but unfortunately the
operator provided us with the geographical whereabouts of the hikers only after
48 hours.”
He pointed
out that the operator company had refused to help with saving the hikers on
pretexts of international sanctions, adding "We expected much more from these
organizations since it was a matter of people’s lives. They could have
cooperated more in saving the lives of these three hikers, but it is a pity
that they didn’t.”
