Monday' report by IRNA says Ali Akbar Javanfekr went back to Tehran's Evin Prison to continue serving his six-month sentence for "publishing material contrary to Islamic norms" and disparaging Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The charges are thought connected to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's political battles with Khamenei. Ahmadinejad checked out Javanfker in hospital on Sunday in a gesture of support for the adviser. The adviser was in stable condition. An Iranian court pronounced guilty Javanfekr in 2011 and banned him from journalism activities for 3 years.
