On Nov. 18, two Iranian Internet activists, Ali Behzadian Nejad and Omid Lavassani, were sentenced to six years in prison. Their crimes? Mr. Lavassani had the audacity to design a Web site for the leading opposition figure Mir Hossein Mousavi. Mr. Nejad is being jailed for “published comments” written by others on his blog, and “propaganda against the system.”
Iranian laws about the Web are purposely kept vague. Ahmed Batebi, the dissident who recently escaped Tehran after eight years in prison, told me that “The regime can arrest people and bloggers for any reason precisely because the laws are not clear.”
A journalist in the city of Yazd recently reported several cases of bloggers being shut down or involved in lawsuits due to readers’ comments. And on Nov. 14, local Iranian press reported that a new police unit was formed to fight “insults and the spreading of lies” on the Internet—another phrase which effectively bans any criticism of the regime.
It’s hard to believe in light of this Internet repression, but Iran’s president is himself a blogger. “Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s Personal Memos” is the place where he goes to vent and stay in touch with the common folk. He says he allots himself 15 minutes a week to write on his blog, but admits that at times he exceeds this limit.

it is very interesting to see that you were surprised of this event.Because these events are very normal in Iran for many years because of the regime.I think,it will be better to offer new solutions instead of criticising everytime
BARACK OBAMA: A DIVINE SIGN FROM ALLAH

From Al Qaida to the Shiite mullahs of Iran; from the Wahabis of Arabia to the Moslem Brothers and the Taliban, one and all see Obama as a heaven sent gift from Almighty Allah to bankrupt the US and destroy the Pax Americana, thus setting the stage for the restoration of Islam as a great world power.
