Cyberlaw in Iran

The number of Internet users in Iran is increasing very fast .(Iran is in the eleventh step for the most Internet users in the world.)As we know computer is like a knife with two edges, therefore the number of computer crime goes up too. In this situation criticises complained about lack of laws for computer crimes and disability of traditional laws so they forced Parliament to enact some laws specifically for cyberspace that happened two years ago in about 25 wavers(2008).For instance punishment for any unlawful data collection is
- Imprisonment between 91 days to one year OR
- Fine between 5 to 20 million Rials OR
- both
and another computer crime is changing or modifying data which its punishment is as follow:
- Imprisonment between one to five years OR
- Fine between 20 to 100 million Rials OR
- both
