An Iran Man Gets Sentenced To Death Over A Facebook Post by mediachirps(m): 1:31pm On Dec 03, 2014
A 30-year-old blogger and
photographer has been sentenced to
death in Iran for "insulting the
prophet of Islam" on Facebook,
drawing renewed attention to the
country's notorious human rights
record. The man, Soheil Arabi, was
convicted in a Tehran criminal court
in August after admitting to posting
the defamatory content. His lawyers
argued that he had done so while
"in poor psychological condition,"
according to the International
Campaign for Human Right in Iran,
and that he was merely sharing
views held by others. But Iran's
Supreme Court upheld the
conviction late last month, and went
a step further by adding a charge of
"sowing corruption of Earth." This
charge is also punishable by death
and cannot be pardoned, according
to Arabi's lawyer.
