+-   In Iran blogging may be punishable by death-> on Saturday July 05 2008, @07:33AM

censorship
An anonymous reader writes "In Iran, crimes such as apostasy (leaving a religion, in this case Islam) and armed robbery are already punishable by death, but a new bill in Iran aims to add to the list "establishing weblogs and sites promoting corruption, prostitution and apostasy", effectively giving the government a free hand in silencing bloggers. The internet is widely used in Iran, despite its previous attempts in censorship. Will this change as the censorship grows more rampant?"
