In the last few years, Sazegara published several newspapers, each of which was closed down by the Iranian courts. In February this year, Sazegara was involved in the founding of a group called “National Coalition of Iranians for Freedom”, aiming to create a secular political system in Iran. He has been repeatedly arrested, and equipment required for the printing of the newspaper and putting up material on the Internet has been confiscated.
