You blog - you die!
Iranian terrorist regime goes completely bonkers in its fear of freedom of expression, and considers introducing another deadly (literally) measure to tighten its grip on the citizens, who are getting increasingly displeased with a complete failure of internal and dangerously escalating external policies of the fanatic ayatollahs.
Tehran: A law that could see the death penalty imposed for cyber crimes is set to be debated in Iran’s parliament, reports said on Wednesday.
Under the draft bill, those found guilty of promoting corruption, prostitution and apostasy on the internet may face the death penalty. The bill aims to “toughen punishment for harming mental security in society,” Iran’s ISNA news agency said.
ISNA said MPs placed the bill as a high priority discussion on the agenda.
Setting up weblogs and sites which promote any of the crimes listed in the bill are punishable by death.
According to the bill, those convicted of these crimes “should be punished as ‘mohareb’ (enemy of God) and ‘corrupt on the earth’.”
Iran imposes strict restrictions on internet access, blocking thousands of sites which may carry content deemed immoral or religiously and politically inappropriate.
I guess next time Iranian president is invited to speak in American university, he will be able to say “We don’t have gays and bloggers in Iran”
