Iran: investigate

Ahmad Ghassaban the editor of Sahar (Dawn), a student paper in Amir Kabir University, was arrested on Thursday.
The daily Etemad reports that the arrest came after caricatures and articles deemed insulting to Islam appeared in four reformist papers at Amir Kabir University.
Ghassaban and other editors belonging to a reformist student movement denied any involvement,saying the images were put into papers by unknown individuals as a plot to discredit them.
Student members of the Basij militia have reportedly protested against the material in the past days, calling for the expulsion of those responsible for their publication.
Etemad also reports that 120 student publications had supported the Amir Kabir editors and called for “action against those who forge student papers.”
