From the BBC:

Iran has executed a journalist accused of involvement with a Sunni militant group blamed for a spate of attacks in the south-east, officials have said.

Judiciary spokesman Ali Reza Jamshidi said Yaqoub Mehrnehad and another man were hanged on Monday in Zahedan, the capital of Sistan-Baluchistan province.

Mr Mehrnehad was convicted in February of being a member of Jundallah and of "crimes against national security".

He was arrested in Zahedan last year while reporting for a Tehran newspaper.

Reports say the journalist also ran a charity apparently focused on improving childhood education.

From the Guardian:

The judiciary spokesman said Mirnehad's conviction was not related to his work as a journalist, but gave no further details.

From the Guardian:

When you pop into your local, you do not expect to be interrogated under a bright lamp or recruited to the secret police while your pint is being pulled. But the owners of a new Berlin pub plan to offer these services and more at their espionage-themed drinking den, which pays tribute to the east German Stasi.

The Firm - the slang term to describe the secret police of the communist regime - is decked out with memorabilia from the bygone era, including shredded surveillance logs, Stasi porcelain and an urn the owners claim contains the ashes of the former east German leader Erich Honecker. A surveillance camera at the door tracks the guests as they enter.

A chronicler of the Stasi told a German newspaper that anyone who had seen the files of that organization  "would not have the stomach for a beer in that bar."

I'm a communist, I know
Our cell operates in a hole
We exist to smash
This running-dog capitalist state

If the revolution is pulled off
All the plutocrats will be shot
And the proletariat will rule
Ever more

Asked on As It Happens if she was now, or had ever been a communist, MacNeil said no.

But that's what the communists always say, isn't it? :^)

And she did admit to being a feminist, which is pretty much communistic in any event (double :^) ).
