Iran has sentenced Mahsa Amrabadi, who worked for the banned pro-opposition
newspaper Etemad Melli, to one year in prison for writing anti-regime articles,
an opposition website reported on Sunday.
A court found Amrabadi guilty of "propaganda against the system by conducting
interviews and reports," Kaleme.com reported.
Amrabadi, along with her husband and reformist journalist Masoud Bastani, was
arrested after the disputed presidential election of June 2009.
Hundreds of thousands of opposition supporters defied a government crackdown and
poured onto the streets of Tehran to protest against the re-election of Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad.
Security forces and militiamen cracked down on the protesters, arresting and
jailing thousands.
Amrabadi was among scores of reformist figures, political activists, and
journalists who were rounded up. She was arrested two days after the June 12
vote, Kaleme.com reported.
After spending nearly three months in prison, she was released on bail of
200,000 dollars, the report said.
Her husband is currently serving a six-year jail term.
