Blogging about exit polls in Greece lands you in jail

Publishing election polls in Greece can land you in jail.

Bloggers are a strange species; they often believe that they belong to a special group, immune from most laws.

At least, that’s what several Greek bloggers thought when they published on Blogger live exit poll results about the Greek elections that take place today.

Such publication, however, is prohibited by the Greek law, that forbids any election polls to be published from 15 days before the elections, until all voting ends on Sunday evening.

They now face several months imprisonment.
