Iranian dissident Hashem Aghajari, sentenced to five years in jail for insulting Islam, complained that a portion of his sentence was almost as bad as the death sentence initially imposed on him. "Although with this new sentence they are not going to execute me ... they have banned me from teaching, writing and giving speeches. In other words they are burying me alive," he was quoted as saying in a letter to his family.
