Iranian Blogger Jailed for 14 Years For Criticizing Government

An Iranian blogger, Arash Sigarchi, has been jailed for 14 years. His offense? Criticizing Iran's arrest of other bloggers.

He was jailed on charges against the state, including espionage and insulting Iran's leaders, after the 28-year-old criticised the Iranian government and its treatment of web log writers on his own blog.

Bloggers across the web were asked to add a Free Mojtaba and Arash banner to their blogs and contact Iranian government representatives.
