Iran: blogging getting journalists in trouble
On Reuters: Iran increases its status as the Middle East's most unfriendly country for journalists, recently jailing yet another editor/blogger. Arash Sigarchi, accused of espionage and insulting the country's leaders, was recently sentenced to 14 years in prison.. In the past five years, over 100 liberal publications have been forced to close their doors at the hands of Iran's judiciary and numerous journalists have been arrested. Reporters Without Borders said Sigarchi had been updating a weblog in which he had spoken out about the arrest of more than 20 Internet journalists, technicians and webbloggers late last year.
