Get out of the country ASAP. Come to San Francisco. You won't go to jail here for posting pictures. Apply for asylum or whatever later, but get your butt on a plane ASAP.

My passport was impounded, unfortunately.

He is probably not allowed to leave the country while his trial is going on.

Escape the country.

Going into a foreign embassy is not gonna do you any good. "The Free World" spies on, and jails its own people, and it will not risk another Mohammad cartoongate helping you. So don't even think about requesting asylum at an embassy.

Sell all you own and head to the nearest border/coastal town. Pay off smugglers or fishermen and get the fuck out.

And you think the US will grant him a visa to work being a fugitive of a muslim country?

(i am very sorry for your situation. this response is assuming you cannot find any way to get out of jail. i hope you do though.)

i had a friend from the internet who went to jail before. we used to run topsites together back in the day. he would usually wind up getting the boxes and affiliations, and i would wind up taking care of them, scripting them, and maintaining them. we had a good racket going.

one day he wound up going to jail for something incredibly stupid and unrelated, for almost a year. he gave me all his passwords and i just took care of the sites while he was gone. if i needed to interact with someone he knew, i just logged into his IM or email and pretended to be him. nobody even knew. then he came back and it was like nothing ever happened.

it's hard, but do you think you would be able to find someone like that? if not a friend, then maybe someone you could employ?

Open source your code. It might not be as much of a competitive advantage as you think and open sourcing it will help with the bug fixes and features

Concentrate on the value that you and your brand provides - if your main customers are in your home country then you can already provide value from localisation. Can you hire someone to handle the marketing and support?

Can I ask what your name is? I'm a free speech activist in the area and would love to see if I can help.

On topic: Post more information about the SaaS. Someone where could want to buy it.

Right, a Gmail address. Like he should write anything sensitive there.
