23 februari wrote the NRC-correspondent in an article that he was informed by lawyer Dadkhah of the Iranian human rights organization Defenders of Human Rights Center (DHRC) that human rights activist and chairman of the ALO Abdullah Al Mansouri was not sentenced to 30 years in prison,but was sentenced to 11 years.
He was convicted of "propagation against the system". This accusation is not as heavily penalized as terrorism.

The Dutch Foreign Ministry confirmed that the Dutch ambassador in Tehran was informed that the sentence for Al Mansouri is 30 years in prison.
The ALO, the organization of which Al Mansouri is chairman, is a resistance-organization in Ahwaz(Khuzestan province), which is, also due to the violent acts from some of the affiliated groups, not supported by the mostly ethnic Arabs and Persian population.
The Iranian government banned the organization on accusation of aiming at separatism.
IranVNC writes that Mehr Newsagency also reported that Abdullah Al Mansouri is sentenced to 30 years in prison for “terrorist activities”.


The journalist and blogger Omid Habibinia writes an article on Worldpressblog about the lifting in recent weeks of the filter on social network sites like Facebook and Youtube.
Also various blogs can be reached again for Iranian bloggers. Iran has approximately 2.5 million blogs drawing some 5 million hits per day.
At the same time as the filter was lifted, a new and virulent wave of Internet attacks against many journalists and activists inside and outside of Iran has begun to emerge.
Habibinia discovered that he already existed on Facebook, and that his ID not only had added friends and collegues, but also his sister.
Fake ID holders have contacted other friends and asked some "strange questions."
His G-mail account was also accessed and sensible data was searched.
From Balatarin, the Persian version of Digg.com.were the owners'ID stolen and was tried to access their bankaccounts.
At the same time, Balatarin was ordered to reformat their servers, making it more difficult to discover the identities of the hackers.
Also of the video site Youtube a lot of videos showing demonstrations or protests were removed while in a two-day period, 200 reports are received asking for the removal of certain videos.
For bloggers as for journalists it is hard to know if the person you're contacting is really that person.
