Freed journalist: Iranian regime's ‘information fears'
Maziar Bahari faces jail if he returns to Iran
Iranian journalist Maziar Bahari was held in a Tehran jail for 118 days in 2009. His arrest came as he worked for western media outlets, including BBC Panorama. In this analysis, Mr Bahari explains why the regime fears information, the internet and a free press.
