A group of Iranian bloggers have started a movement to remember and cause awareness about the Iranian imprisoned student bloggers. The idea is to rename as many blogs as possible to “August the 5th: The day of support for jailed Iranian students”. I am not among the organizers of this movement but I am sick and tired of Iranians being jailed for expressing their opinions. I’ll join in. Please help us.
Bloggers support the jailed iranian student activists
August 5th 2007 is the 101-st anniversary of the Iranian constitutional revolution. BUT Iranian people still struggle for democracy and student activists are still sent to jails
Several student activists spend this year’s anniversary in jails. They include Mohammad Hashemi, Ali Nikoonesbati, Ali Vefghi, Bahareh Hedayat, Mehdi Arabshahi, Hanif Yazdani, Abodllah Momeni, Bahram Fayyazi, Habib Hajiheydari, Morteza Eslahchi, Mojtaba Bayat,, Masood Habibi, Saeed Hossein-nia, Arash Khandel, Ashkan Ghiasvand, Mohammad-Hossein Mehrzad, Ahmad Ghassaban, Majid Tavakoli, Ehsan Mansouri, and Amir Yaghoub-ali
In support and memory of our fellow activists, who some of them are bloggres as well, a group of Iranian bloggres will change their blog title on August the 5th to “August the 5th: The day of support for jailed Iranian students”. We invite you, even as a non-Iranian blogger, to participate in this cause. You can join by sending us e-mail to 14.mordad@gmail.com or write the name of your weblog in the comment box below, so it will be added to the list of the supporting weblogs
This is a list of friends who helped us pass on the message.
[...] Kamangir has information about a support group for their defense, for what it’s worth. [...]
