Free Mojtaba and Arash Day

Today bloggers around the world are dedicating their sites to two young Iranians - Mojtaba and Arash who are currently in prison as the result of insults to Iranian leaders included in their blogs.

For the whole story, check out this website: http://committeetoprotectbloggers.blogspot.com/

Please take a moment today to think about two things...
1) Even in this age of freedom of information and technology that links the whole world together, regimes around the world are still trying to suppress freedom of speech.
2) How many of your friends would be in jail if posting derogatory things about George Bush landed you 14 years in jail??
