Four bloggers imprisoned in Iran
A Tehran court has passed (via) six-month prison sentences on four female bloggers. The women were found guilty under article 500 of the Islamic criminal code, under which “anyone who undertakes any form of propaganda against the state will be sentenced to between three months and one year in prison.”
The four women were charged for articles that appeared in two online newspapers that defend women’s rights in Iran, Zanestan and Tagir Bary Barbary.
