After the 2009 disputed presidential election in Iran, Ghadyani used his blog to attack reformist presidential candidates and political leaders of the Green Movement, Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi.

But in January 2009, Ghadyani published an open letter to the head of Iran’s judiciary on his blog, in which he criticized the judiciary. Ghadyani was arrested and his blog blocked.

The details of his arrest are still unknown but it is clear that he has been released and continues to work with hardliner media such as the newspaper Vatan-e-Emrooz and publications affiliated with the Front for Islamic Revolution Stability.

However, on June 25th 2013, Ghadyani was summoned to the Press Court after an unspecified government agency filed a complaint against him. According to the editor-in-chief of Vatan-e-Emrooz, the complaint was about articles published in the newspaper criticizing the Geneva nuclear accord and Iran’s Supreme National Security Council. The agency filed a separate complaint against the editor-in-chief.

Ghadyani was released on bail, but the bail amount and other details are unknown.
