Reporters Without Borders condemns the four-year prison sentence which a special court for the clergy in the religious city of Qom imposed on online journalist and cleric Mojtaba Lotfi on 29 November for disseminating the views of Ayatollah Hussein Ali Montazeri and for “publicity against the government.”
The court also sentenced Lotfi, who has been held in Qom since 8 October, to five years of banishment from the city after completing the jail term.
