" … one year in prison on the charge of undermining the establishment for giving interviews to foreign TV networks and news agencies”
" … four-month sentence for calling Ahmadinejad a megalomaniac in an interview with Al-Arabiya TV which the prosecutors misinterpreted as crazy and so insulting the president," he said.
One of the accusations mentioned in the verdict was "defending" in an analysis Nazak Afshar, an employee of the French embassy in Tehran who was jailed in the aftermath of Iran's post-election unrest in 2009, he added.

Comments: Another blasphemy case but this time not a religious blasphemy but a secular blasphemy.
What it shows is that Islamists and Islamophilic politically correct elite establishment and 'petty tyrant' officials are against free speech and freedom of expression, and are extremely hypersensitive.
These tyrants have their 'dogma' and no body is allowed to question it or defend what they consider blasphemies, both religious and secular.
You are expected to simply shut up and accept what they say.
These sort of repression are also emerging in the West too with the collusion of the PC brigade and shows the threat to freedom of expression, free speech and ultimately all other freedoms.
People should therefore watch out and speak out against this trend of censorship.
