Kaveh Golestan was an Iranian famous photojournalist who murdered three years ago in Iraq. Nowadays his family and friends gives an annual "kaveh golestan" award to photographers in the memory of the man who said

" I want to show you images that will be like a slap in your face to shatter your security. You can look away,turn off,hide your identity like murderers,but you can not stop the truth. No one can."

This year, the "one photo" sections winner is Mansour Nasiri for his photo from Police attack to women's demonstration in HafteTir sq.. This is the photo:



I am glad that a photo from this event is the winner. This will lead to more media (Internet) coverage, although this year "ministry of Islamic guidance" did not let "kaveh golestan" organization to exhibit the photos in a public place or even publish the photos in a collection as a book.

If you want to see the other photos from this competition, visit golestanaward.com photo gallery but keep in mind "بعدی" is "next" so you have to push the red Persian word below the photos (just before the >> sign) to go to the next page. good luck !

China's government is same as Iran's government: They are afraid of PEOPLEs opinions and this BLOG thing is a gret threat. Reuters writes in China moves towards "real name system" for blogs:

"A real name system will be an unavoidable choice if China wants to standardise and develop its blog industry," the official Xinhua news agency quoted the Internet Society's secretary general, Huang Chengqing, as saying.

"We suggest, in a recent report submitted to the ministry, that a real name system be implemented in China's blog industry," Huang said.

wow.. This reminds me my government; "We have to develope, so there is no choice exept this limitaion".
