Death Sentence Upheld for Iranian Programmer
The latest Internet-related piece of news to come out of Iran is probably the most disturbing we’ve heard in a while. An Iranian web programmer, Saeed Malekpour, has been sentenced to death on charges of insulting the sanctity of Islam. He was accused of developing porn sites, and according to the Guardian, Malekpour’s accusation is the result of developing software to upload photos, which was then used by a porn site without his knowledge.
