Maziar Bahari !!!
Bahari was in prison for 118 days and after that he was sentenced for 13.5 years in prison .
This is only because he was supporting Iranian rights to have a the freedom of internet and speech .
Here there is a video from him that is talking about the freedom of internet in Iran .
Iran Internet Law
ISP is The first Internet Service Providers in Iransince 1994. In 2001 the law stated that Iran was to control all ISP's. The main state media entity is the Telecommunications Company of Iran (TCI). The Data Communication Company of Iran (DCI) is the chief ISP, the provider by which most other ISP's get their Internet connectivity. The DCI is a subsidiary of TCI, and run by the newly re-named Ministry for Information and Communication Technology (“ICT”), which is responsible for TCI policy.
All private ISPs must be vcontrol by both DCI and the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance. ISPs must install filters for Web sites and e-mail. The TCI in 2001 issued regulations requiring ISPs to filter all materials presumed immoral or contrary to state interests. The goal of filtering is to block all access to "non-Islamic" sites. There have been many cases of bloggers and other Internet users being arrested, and some sent to prison, and even tortured and killed. In fact, a group of school children were recently taken into custody and held for several days, charged with arranging romantic rendezvous.
On October 11, 2006, the Government ruled that high-speed service is illegal, undoubtedly to fight the downloading of subversive materials. Unfortunately, this directly contradicts the Government's “Five Year-Development Plan” that had as a goal the creation of widespread access to broadband service. Despite the ruling, broadband is available in many businesses. Overall, Iranian Internet use has grown more quickly than in any other Middle Eastern country since 2,000 ..........
http://www.i-policy.org/2009/12/iranian-internet-law.htmlI just put a part of article that explains the internet law in Iran and the sections .
I think Internet law in Iran is totally one sided , and the only side that has the benefit is the government .
You can't see anything about users privacy . The law is all about political issues and religious issues .
The punishments are only for those against the government .

Siemens and Nokia case !
http://www.speroforum.com/a/38405/Iran---Nokia-Siemens-Tehrans-accomplice-in-violating-human-rights
Recently some IT companies are trying to help Iranian government to monitor the wireless activities in Iran . They sale the equipment of that purpose and receive high amount of money.
I believe that this kind of equipment is necessary for government to protect the online transactions and to detect the crimes , but not to monitor the privacy of people just for political aims .
Only those countries can use this equipment that they are developed enough to support the human rights .
The international law organizations must monitor the IT companies and their activities to avoid such shameful activities that happens just for MONEY !

Zahra Amir Ebrahimi a Cyber Crimes' Victim (2)
I found a link that explains after every one watched that clip , the parliament passed a law that says if any of famous actors or actresses found in a a porno the penalty will be execution .
I was totally shocked !!!
How come ? In producing a porno clip there are lots of people like directors , photographers, camera man and so on . Then why the only person who get the penalty is the actor ?
Another thing is that when you can see the personal movies that people make in their private , in people hands , who has the responsibility of this crimes ?
Where is the law ? what if I found my personal birthday party with my friends and family in people laptops and mobile phones ?
Even when you walk in the street in Tehran some times you can hear that some one is selling the porno CDs , and encourage people to buy that by saying that it's an Iranian clip . Hidden sexy cameras and like this .
Unfortunately these clips are spreading day by day and no body cares about the distributors and producers of this shameful products .
