IRAN: Emadeddin Baghi - Middle East and Gulf (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
Journalist and human rights defender Emadeddin Baghi has recently been released from prison after serving a one-year prison sentence imposed in 2003. This was imposed after he was found guilty of "printing lies" and “endangering national security” after the publication of his book, The Tragedy of Democracy, in Iran. However, he may now have to serve a three-year prison sentence handed down in 2003, and is also facing new charges after criticizing the authorities.
