Subject: BS: Iran stops blogger- dead! From: GUEST,beardedbruce Date: 20 Mar 09 - 08:13 AM Iran blogger jailed for Khamenei insult dies Mar 19 06:50 AM US/Eastern A young Iranian blogger jailed in Tehran's notorious Evin prison for insulting supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has died, his lawyer told AFP on Thursday. Mohammad Ali Dadkhah said that although there is not yet an official report about the death on Wednesday of Omid Mir Sayafi, "officials in the prison said that he committed suicide." He demanded "an immediate inquiry and an autopsy into why he died." Dadkhah said another prisoner in Evin, a Dr Hessam Firouzi, "had warned officials in the jail of the state the young blogger was in. "Dr Firouzi called me from the jail to say Omid had a slowed heartbeat and he had taken him to the infirmary, but that doctors there did not take this seriously and said he was faking it," Dadkhah said. He added Firouzi reported that Sayafi had also been very depressed. The blogger, aged around 25, was sentenced in February to 30 months in jail for insulting Khamenei and Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, founder of the Islamic Republic. Sayafi was first arrested in April last year and released on bail after 41 days before being detained again this year. Iran has launched a crackdown on bloggers and Internet users deemed to be hostile to the authorities and their Islamic values. |
