Request for help, posted by DoctorZin

Committee to Protect Bloggers:

Help us reach our near-term goal of getting 1,000 signatures each on the petitions for Mojtaba and Omid by linking directly to them.

Mojtaba’s has about 350 so far and Omid’s nearly 200. So, we’ve got a ways to go.

Our interrim goal is to make the government of Iran know that the world is ashamed of its actions in imprisoning and torturing students for speaking their minds. Our ultimate goal is to see both men free and unthreatened.”

Spread the word and help the cause. Regarding a similar story, Iranian journalist sentenced for 90 days, Rosemary from Love America First writes:

“I wonder if people in the west understand that these “rights” that we have are not just dropped down and presto! There they are! They have to be defended with everything we have. If we do not defend those who have no voice, who will defend us when our voice falls of deaf ears?”

Correct, freedom must always be defended. Never forget that Rights come with Responsibilities.
