You have not mentioned apostasy. Is this a "western" interpretation of the judgement ? Refdoc 01:31, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

No it's not. Apostasy was in the original judgement (which included the death sentence), but Aghajari was cleared of it in the recent ruling. I didn't have time to write much. Feel free to add. Roozbeh

I'm confused - the article says he criticised the regime, but he was convicted for Apostasy, which is essentially renouncing your religion. Which is it? Have we got the whole story here? --Commking 20:25, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

yes we've got the whole story. it's very simple really. dr aghajeri was (and is) generally opposed to the hardline faction of the iranian regime. in that particular speech however, as it says in the article, he made a comment that criticized some of the current religeous practices of the regime. this was the hardliner's chance to have him convicted of apostasy (the court interpreted his criticisms as apostasy). that's all that happened.

Ok - so criticism of the religious practices of the regime, in Iran at least, means Apostasy. This doesn't corresponde with how the wikipedia article on Apostasy defines it, that is leaving or changing ones religion. Perhaps this article can be clarified? --Commking 05:59, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Iran.Aghajari.jpg

Image:Iran.Aghajari.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
