Iran: void

President Ahmadinejad has in principle no objections to let Oliver Stone make a movie about him.
Stone requested earlier this year also to make a film about President Ahmadinejad but met negative responses from the president's office.
According to the media-advisor of the president the American cinema is void of real art and culture.


August 23 began in the city of Yasuj the trial against the writer
Yaghub Yadali. He has been charged with spreading false information in his novels.
The charges relate to two books by Yadali that were published years ago and that portray a woman in an extramarital relationship. Because his female character speaks in the Lori dialect of his native province, his critics have accused him of trying to insult all Lori women.
Yadali has rejected such accusations and said he is himself is an ethnic Lor and that he would never offend this ethnic group.

The lawyer for journalist Parnaz Azima, who has been prevented from leaving Iran since February says she is now facing a charge of acting against national security.
