The editor of an Iranian news website, Ali Ghazali, was arrested on Sunday after carrying a report claiming that a tape recording existed of the president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, discussing vote rigging in the disputed 2009 election.
Ahmadinejad's office has strongly denied the report that appeared on the Baztab website last month. No tape has since surfaced.
Ghazali's arrest was reported to the Associated Press by one of the website's journalists, Ammar Kalantari.
