Reza Valizadeh, 32 years old, journalist and blogger was the object of a complaint from the Iranian president’s office and was detained on November 26.
Several Iranian blogs and websites say the main reason he was arrested is because he revealed that Ahmadinejad’s security staff bought four dogs from Germany for about $150,000 each.
In recent months, Iranian authorities have cracked down on dog owners and arrested their dogs, claiming they are impure according to Islam.
