Mojtaba Saminejad and Arash Sigarchi

Comments: 2


ctpbbutton2.gifMojtaba Saminejad and Arash Sigarchi are two Iranian bloggers being persecuted by their country’s authorities for, well, just speaking up, it appears. Details of the charges against the two men are unclear.

The Committee to Protect Bloggers has nominated today as “Free Mojtaba and Arash Day.”

Post a link, display a banner, write a letter, make a noise. Free speech is a precious thing.

The BBC has a story here.

Now, this is a cause that I can get behind! Promoting free speech, insdie an oppressive regime. I’ll be posting an entry about this on my own site as well… I just wish they had a well designed banner. hmm
