| Deputy Culture and Islamic Guidance Minister Ali-Asghar Ramezanpour said here on Sunday that in the past eight months, about 200,000 illegal books were seized from the market and legal actions were taken against 35 unauthorized printing centers. Ramezanpour told reporters that 7,000 copies of illegal books had been seized in the past two weeks and now nearly 90 complaints have brought up against the publishers. Also, in the past three months, about 1,600 books were scrutinized by the Inspectorate Organization, said the official, adding that judicial actions against the publication of certain books were supported by complaints raised against them.
