I'm Jadi. A 27 years old from Tehran / Iran. I blogged for years at my farsi weblog (www.jadi.net) but these days I'm FILTERED in my own country so I have to write here in english. It's shame but it is the situation !

I am keeping an eye on freedom of expression, censorship, internet filtering and ...

Note: english IS NOT my native language. I'm not good at it. But I think writing in poor english is much more BETTER THAN not writing at all. But I'll be glad reciveing friendly editorial, spelling, grammer, ... comments and I'll fix and learn.

View Article  updates on Amir Yaghoubali
We went to the police station in the morning. When we arrived, there were some other friends there, say 5. They were standing in the street in front of the police station and told us they have met Amir Yahgoubali for a couple mintues. He was arrested yesterday around 21 in park while talking with people about the 1'000'000 million campaign which is a campaign for equal rights for women and men.

Now he is at the police station and not a actual prison. He has spent there the last night and this morning they brought him to the drugs judge. I mean the judge who is specialized in drug cases! He ordered him to spend one more night in the prison and return back tomorrow. Tomorrow is Friday and the official holiday in Iran. There is no much hope for his release or even meeting the judge tomorrow buy we will be there 8am because if they will bring him to the judge, we can see him (and he can see us) at the police station's gate.

They did not gave him proper / enough food but the young policeman who was in charge of his transportation, agreed to wait some minutes so his father can buy something from a nearby shop and give it him. Tomorrow morning we will go there again so we might be able to see him if they will bring him to the judge.
View Article  Another close friend, another arrest: Amir Yagoubali
The SMS was short: "Amir-Y is arrested, while collection signatures for the 1 million campaign". Around 22:00 last night.

After some calling I've found out that he was collecting signatures in a part, when police have arrested him. He is also one of my close friends and we spend last week with each other, designing two websites for Iranian NGOs. Right now I am going to the police station to see what is happening there. I had a SMS which said "Some friends are gathering in front of the police station". Leila (my wife) and I are going to join them :) bye. I hope this would be "short bye" and will try to return back and update my site in a few hours.

He is young (20 I think) and very talented. He studies journalism at the university and have helped many groups to start their websites, start their twitters weblogs and he is a podcasting professional.
