Iran Moves One Step Closer to Ratifying Death Penalty for Blogging
The Citizens Media Law Project reports:
Online free speech has never been well received by the Iranian government, but now Tehran is just one step away from making blogging on certain topics into a capital crime.
Under a new bill approved by Iran’s parliament, those convicted of “establishing weblogs and sites promoting corruption, prostitution and apostasy” will now be eligible to receive the death penalty.
