Saeed Salekpour a été arrêté à Téhéran le 4 octobre 2008. Lui, l’informaticien qui vivait au Canada et venait rendre visite à ses parents, a été envoyé au cachot. Ce jour-là, Mayram se souvient d’avoir dit à sa mère bouleversée : « Ne t’inquiète pas, ce n’est pas possible que Saeed reste en prison… même une seule journée ! » Et pourtant, depuis ce jour, plus jamais Saeed n’a retrouvé sa liberté. Il a même connu le pire du système carcéral iranien.

Human rights lawyer Gissou Nia and spokesperson for the Campaign to Free Saeed described the broader implications of the case for programmers in Iran in an email to Global Voices:

The arrest and ongoing imprisonment of Saeed Malekpour shows that all Iranian freelance web programmers are vulnerable to potential legal trouble as they cannot know for certain which sites their codes have been used on. Should they face the misfortune of having a code they created used on a website deemed obscene by the Iranian authorities (and where the backend is being monitored by the IRGC) they can face adverse legal consequences.
