.Support the Iranian Bloggers
I found this BBC story on the Iranian crackdown on blogging over at ITM and just wanted to point out that this is not the first that we have heard of this issue, I posted this link back in December 04 to a story that described all kinds of torture and abuse, just for blogging.
The EU thinks it can make a deal with these people, just as they are consolidating power and trying to silence all the dissent. The next step will be to cut the lines and make all use of the internet illegal. That will be their only way to quell the rising resentment that is, and will be fueled by this series of crackdowns.
We all have to do what we can to support the Iranian bloggers, or at least let them know that we are with them, so they can continue to do what all bloggers do. Blog.
