Dozens of arrested Iranian operators of pornographic and anti-Islamic websites deserve to face the death penalty, a special prosecutor said in a newspaper report on Tuesday. Tehran’s deputy prosecutor Reza Jafari said 50 Iranians had been arrested and were under investigation for running such websites and promoting prostitution, Vatan Emrouz reported. He said the term “corrupt on earth” suited “a person who manages many immoral, anti-religious and anti-revolutionary sites, and corruption on earth is legally punishable by death” under strict Islam.
