February 15, a trial will be held at Branch 15 of Tehran’s Revolutionary Court, which is charging him with “gathering and conspiring,” “acting against national security” and “disturbing public order.”
He was convicted earlier to 3 months and 1 day in prison for his public advocacy regarding the sexual abuse of a female student by a university security agent in Kermanshah, as well as publicly discussing the murder of a female student allegedly by a member of the Basiji militia in Sabzevar, and protesting the barring of several graduate students from continuing their education.

The Iranian parliament's energy commission has increased the price of rationed gasoline for the next Iranian calendar year (beginning in March 2009) by 1,000 rials (about 10 cents) to 2,000 rials per liter.
On the free market gasoline prices and gas oil would be set at 4,000 rials and 500 rials respectively.
The bill needs to be approved by the parliament's budget committee before it is put to vote.
The new prices are based on oil prices of $37.5 a barrel. Oil had been set at $55 a barrel for last year's budget plan.
Due to lack of adequate refining capacity Iran has to import gasoline, despite its oil reservoirs.
