Iranian Jailed for Blogging
Iranian blogger Seyyed Ahmad Seyyed Seraji has been sentenced to 18 months in prison and 30 lashes. A bit steep for blogging I’d say, but as I pointed out in my previous post, Iran isn’t exactly the “paradise” that the Imams would like us to believe.
Thankfully for Seyyed he was only convicted on charges of attempting to overthrow the Islamic Republic of Iran and insulting the Supreme Leader. The charge of blasphemy was dropped, which could have led to a death sentence (doesn’t this remind you of the Inquisition?).
Seyyed was never represented by a lawyer and in prison he has so far been assaulted several times.
