DUBAI (Reuters) – Iranian authorities have
arrested a cartoonist and sent him to prison to complete a suspended
jail sentence, his lawyer said on Tuesday, joining a growing list of
journalists, artists and activists detained on security charges.
Hadi Heidari, a cartoonist at the Shahrvand newspaper,
was arrested on Monday and sent to Tehran’s Evin prison, his lawyer told
Reuters in a telephone interview from Tehran.
“He was convicted two years ago for his cartoons and was
sentenced to one year in jail. The authorities had a different
interpretation of his cartoons than he had,” the lawyer, Saleh Nikbakht,
said. Heidari had served about a month of the original sentence,
Nikbakht said.
