Saeed Malekpour born May 1975 is an Iranian webdesigner. He was sentenced to death in Iran for allegedly designing and moderating pornographic websites. Malekpour developed an Internet photo sharing tool that his supporters assert was used without his knowledge for pornographic purposes. Prior to his arrest in Iran in 2008, Malekpour had been living and working in Canada as a permanent resident. The Canadian government and Amnesty International have called for his immediate release.
In December 2012, Malekpour's lawyer announced that the death sentence had been suspended because Malekpour had repented for his behavior.
Saeed Malekpour sentence was later reduced to life imprisonment.
