They want to be actors of that change.<br /><br />That means engaging in action, and sometimes getting in trouble for it.<br /><br />You can decide that it's stupid of them to think that they can change the world around them, or you can think that the changes they want to bring about are not worth the effort, fine.<br /><br />That's not my belief.<br /><br />This is not a case, as you say, of "the free western world talking about freedom of expression" it is about an Iranian man making decisions for himself, in his own country.<br /><br />You can let him drown. Your choice. Not mine.<br /><br />History shows that committed people can achieve great things. I want to support them.Nathalie H.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16806509041466785588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578502161069698346.post-21337154277962372612010-02-12T10:27:42.187+01:002010-02-12T10:27:42.187+01:00Je... n'ai pas trouvé le lien vers la pétition...Je... n'ai pas trouvé le lien vers la pétition...Michel Benoithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13815300603298662229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578502161069698346.post-84050161768359823802010-02-12T02:50:08.948+01:002010-02-12T02:50:08.948+01:00bonjour chère Nathalie, thankyou for this post.

I extend my heart and compassion totally to these bloggers emprisonned in Iran however, it is unfortunate that they were not informed beforehand about publishing material that may be offensive to Iranian officials and censoring groups. Were they not aware of the consequences of such activity?<br /><br />Well each one to his own, but if I went to Iran I would follow Iran's rules.When in Rome do as the romans and I would save the blogging for later when I was in another country.<br />Protestation is good but be aware of boundaries that will lead to martyrdom.<br /><br />I have to snicker when the"free western world," talks about freedom of expression.There are varying degrees of freedom of expression it is true but the western world has built in controls that are not observable on first glance.<br /><br />well anyway just another angle on this...crederaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16038411399928825394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578502161069698346.post-20682368185670828212010-02-11T15:01:02.108+01:002010-02-11T15:01:02.108+01:00Tu as raison Nathalie, aujourd'hui en Iran et ...Tu as raison Nathalie, aujourd'hui en Iran et demain où ?

La solidarité, c'est ça et la liberté d'expression, ça se défend. <br /><br />My blog usually keeps a light-hearted tone but what is the point of a network such as City Daily Photo Blogs if members of the network don't unite against the abusive arrest of one of them? That's what solidarity is about.<br />Freedom of speech is worth fighting for.Nathalie H.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16806509041466785588noreply@blogger.com
