IRAN: Warrant for arrest against a reformer
Iranian justice
launched a warrant for arrest against the journalist Massoud Behnoud,
condemned to 19 month of prison for "attack with national safety".
Journalist and famous historian, Massoud Behnoud had publicly called
into question of the significant questions of the Islamic Republic,
in particular the port of the Islamic behaviour for the women, and
had taken party for reforming president Khatami, elected in 1997.
That had already cost him several months of imprisonment in 2000
and 2001, at the time of the vagueness of arrests of journalists
and massive suspensions of newspapers in Iran, before being released
in bond legal. Its judgment was confirmed by the Court of Appeal.
Currently abroad, the journalist will thus be stopped as of his
possible return in Iran. In 3 years, 82 titles were suspended in
Iran.
