Free Mojtaba and Arash Day

I spent the evening at the hospital checking up on Dad (he’s doing well

— he talked wedding plans for nearly the full visit) so I haven’t had

a chance to post the graphic below until now:

Today — all remaining 30 seconds of it — is Free Mojtaba and Arash Day.

Mojtaba Saminejad and Arash Sigarchi are imprisoned in Iran for

blogging — although the charges levelled against them are espionage

and “insulting the country’s leaders”. More details are available at Reuters, the BBC, Iz Reloaded and at the Committee to Protect Bloggers (good cause, so-so name).
