Hossein Derkhshan, a popular Iranian blogger, was sentenced Tuesday after being convicted of several offences, including spreading propaganda against the ruling establishments and insulting Islamic thoughts and religious figures. His former wife says she’s stunned by the ruling, a sentence of more than nineteen years in prison for his provocative writings.
I think this is an interesting topic to discuss. Often people debate where to draw the line between free speech/expression, and slander or propaganda that would be dealt with legally.
