Iran jails editor for 14 yrs for insulting leaders
http://channels.netscape.com/ns/news/story.jsp?id=2005022219320002543351&dt=20050222193200&w=RTR&coview=
An Iranian journalist was jailed for 14 years on charges ranging from espionage to insulting the country's leaders in an unusually heavy sentence in Iran, where tens of journalists have been tried in recent years.
Rights activists said on Tuesday that Arash Sigarchi, 28, was convicted by the Revolutionary Court in the Caspian province of Gilan in northern Iran.
Sigarchi, a newspaper editor in Gilan who also wrote an Internet journal or "weblog," was arrested last month after responding to a summons from the Intelligence Ministry.
"In total, he has been given 14 years in prison," Mohammad Saifzadeh, a member of Centre for Defence of Human Rights in Tehran told Reuters by telephone.
Sigarchi's family has asked Saifzadeh and Iran's 2003 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Shirin Ebadi to represent him in an appeal.
"Free Mojtaba and Arash!"
Rainy Day is proud to add its voice to this global day of action dedicated to freeing two bloggers, Arash Sigarchi and Mojtaba Saminejad, currently imprisoned in Iran. Those of us fortunate to live in tolerant societies cannot begin to imagine the horror of living under a regime that despises free expression and savagely penalizes those who speak their minds.
