Iranian Blogger Day

The call has come over the wire, to dedicate today, Tuesday, Feb 22nd, to a couple of Iranian bloggers known as Mojtaba and Arash. This blog recognizes that they are probably not the only bloggers in Iran that need our moral support and encouragement.

I first discovered the Iranian blog culture when its Johnny Appleseed, Hossein Derakhshan, reported on the arrest of blogger Sina Motallebi. We blogged about that and brought international attention to the story and Sina credits that with helping to get him out of jail and out of the country.

These people are in jail for doing exactly what we have the privilege of doing: Speaking. We must stand with them.

Totten has more too. And here is the website of the Commitee to Protect Bloggers.
