The editor of a reformist newspaper in Iran has been jailed for publishing an article on Shia Islam deemed offensive by authorities.
Saeed Pourazizi of the Bahar newspaper was arrested and then taken to Evin prison on Saturday.
According to news.com.au, Pourazizi's wife, Masoumeh Shahriari, said that her husband was summoned to court but was taken to jail instead.
She said authorities have demanded bail in exchange for his release.
Iran's press watchdog banned Bahar last week because of an article authorities said questioned Shia Islam's beliefs about the Prophet Mohammed's appointed successor, the report added.
