Iranian Journalist; still arrested...

by Iraniangirl at May 2, 2003 6:34 PM

It's been about two weeks that Sina Motallebi, the Iranian journalist has been arrested & still everything about his arrest is vague...

His wife, Farnaz Ghazizadeh has a weblog named "Me & Mani" & writes about their little child. In her last post she has written that, she is really confused of different news that she doesn't know their sources, she also thanks all the ones who are worry & wants all others to respect Sina's request & let this problem be solved by silent...(Here is her weblog--In Farsi--)

Actually, that's true that how much people try to show it more important, the situation of this journalist will be worse; but there is a fact that other bloggers can not let it go without writing about it, & if all of them wants or not , the Iranian weblogs' focus is on this arrest.

At the time, I think the most important thing is that bloggers aren't fighting just for Sina Motallebi, but for the freedom of this cyber world & that real land, Iran...

Anyway, here is also BBC's report about this subject: "Bloggers unite to fight"...

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:

*This* puts text in bold.

_This_ puts text in italics.

bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.

To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.

Finally, note that a constant onslaught of Trackback spams from auto-generated blogspot blogs has forced Winds to ban the blogspot.com domain from use in comments or trackbacks. If you host on blogspot, consider moving; otherwise, the complaints need to be directed at Google not us.
