Among the dozens of people arrested overnight in Tehran was NEWSWEEK reporter Maziar Bahari, who has covered Iran for the magazine for over a decade. Bahari was home asleep at 7 a.m. when several security officers showed up at his Tehran apartment. According to his mother, who lives with the 41-year-old reporter and documentary filmmaker, the men did not identify themselves. They seized Bahari's laptop and several videotapes. Assuring her that he would be their guest, they then left with Bahari. He has not been heard from since.
All week, Twitter avatars, Facebook mugshots, Web sites and blogs have been going green in solidarity with Iranians protesting the results of last week's election, in which incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has claimed victory.
Various observers have called the protests `Facebook/ Twitter protests', claiming that social media tools have been critical in organizing Iran election protests.
این روزها میرحسین موسوی برای چینیها نام شناختهشدهای است و حتی زندگینامه او به وفور بین کاربران چینی اینترنت دست به دست میگردد. اعتراضات مردمی در ایران باعث شده تا چینیها هم به دنبال یک "موسوی" در کشورشان بگردند.
ديروز روزنامه ي كيهان در عكس صفحه ي نخست خود عكسي از حضور طرفداران محمود احمدي نژاد، رييس جمهور فعلي و كانديداي دهمين دوره ي رياست جمهوري را با كمي دستكاري به دست مخاطبان خود و در منظر عموم گذاشت. آن طور كه در عكس مشخص است احتمالا در قسمت بالاي عكس، جمعيت كمي وجود داشته كه روزنامه ي كيهان با فوتوشاپ كاري سعي در پر نشان دادن آن فضا كرده بود. اميدوارم هميشه رو به حقيقت حركت كنيم حتي اگر احساس مي كنيم كه منافعمان در خطر است.
Petition for the release of all Iranians, particularly the university students, who have been inhumanely and unlawfully arrested across Iran since the June 12, 2009 Iranian presidential elections and the ensuing nation-wide demonstrations!
