Iranian editor released on bail

The chief editor of a banned magazine in Iran, Ezzatollah Sahabi, has been released from detention on bail.

Mr Sahabi -- who edited the pro-reform Iran-e Farda magazine -- was charged with insulting the supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei.

He's also been held in connection with a taking part in a conference in Berlin earlier this year which outraged many Iranian clerics.

A number of delegates to the conference have been charged with acting against national security, spreading propaganda and insulting Islamic values.
