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  Iran: Execution of child offender imminent
UPDATE 19 Jul: Wow... thank all once more. We stopped it! Phone calls from Iran, Norway, Austria and even from EU officials, postponed or even stopped the execution. Thank you guys... I'm very happy. We have to work to stop all child executions, not one by one, but in the LAW.




Very tired! From the morning up to now, I am updating sites, writing, copy / pasting and some programming. I've designed a logo with an automatic counter for Amir Yagoubali, showing how many hours he were been in the jail.



This night the government is going to hang one child too! He was 16 when murdered a man, now he is 19 and the authorities want to hang him ( Amnesty ). We are also working on a STOP CHILD EXECUTION site. I am just doing the tech stuff and the central person is one of my friends but today we have a lot's of work to do.
View Article  "In the name of Democracy", Kian Tajbakhsh and others on TV
When I wrote Dr. Kian Tajbakhsh -My Professor- was detained, Somebody emailed me and asked me "What will happen?". I answered and I was right. This is a repeating scenario: They arrest you first. Then they find some "crimes". Then they ask (torture) you to confess. If you do, you will be on TV, confessing all the Crimes and all the efforts to undermine the government and then they release you soon and you will leave the country for good. If you do not confess, you have to spend many years in the prison.

Kians photo in the TV, a screenshot of the "In the name of Democracy"s teaser

We knew that Kian is going to confess. It is OK. He is scientist and he is not going to spend his life in jail. Oh! I've forgot to tell the main point. From yesterday the TV is showing an teaser: "In the name of Democracy" and the content is the confessions of the Kian, Hale and who Ramin Jahanbeglou. We know what they are going to tell: We were fooled to betray Iran and try to show that some people do not like this lovely government. We were false and found it out and now we are very happy :)

It is OK. It is understandable and this is exactly what predicted and even wanted from them to do. The problem arises when the authorities use this confessions to arrest and accuse other people. I hope Kian, Hale and Ramin will not NAME anybody else. To be honest, I am sure they will not (I have to say they did not, because this is not a live broadcast, this is highly edited version of the confessions with many views from bad police behaviour in USA and ...).

OK OK OK! I am not talking in one line. I am not concentrated. I am confused. I wont watch the show tomorrow night. I don't want to watch it. I prefer to read it the day after. I prefer to deny it.
