"Iran’s supreme court has confirmed the death sentence on a Iranian-born Canadian resident for his part in developing pornographic websites.
Saeed Malekpour, 35, was arrested in Teheran on a visit. He is a permanent resident of Canada and was awaiting citizenship when he was arrested.
Toronto’s The Star reports:
An engineer and web designer, Malekpour was visiting his gravely ill father in Tehran when he was arrested in 2008 and charged with “insulting and desecrating Islam.” He was accused of creating a site Iran claims was used to post “pornographic” images.
According to The Guardian, Mr. Malekpour’s family say that he wrote photo-uploading software that was used by a porn website without his knowledge."
