Proposed Iranian Law Would Treat Blogs That Promote Apostasy As Capital Offense

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS

Khaleej Times reported yesterday that Iran's Parliament is set to debate a draft bill that would not only continue to punish apostasy and a number of other crimes with death, but would add to the list of capital offenses "establishing weblogs and sites promoting corruption, prostitution and apostasy." The draft bill also provides that the sentence in these cases "cannot be commuted, suspended or changed". Last year, Iran carried out 317 executions.
