Free Amir Sadeghi

I have just read on Portland Daily Photo that our much respected fellow blogger, Amir of Tehran Live, has been arrested again, this time for publishing these photos. As before I hope he is safe and well and released quickly. My thoughts are with him and his family.

Solidarity

Our fellow blogger, A, is missing in Iran. We post today in support of his freedom. Click here to view thumbnails for all participants.

Truth be Told

is your truth the only truth

that we must obey

that lacks grey

is absolute like the number one

is black as night

white as flight

won’t you listen to my truth

it’s pliant as the dancer’s legs

is grey as the winter sky

confused as infinity

open to suggestion

come feel my truth

(Sara Rahai, iranian.com, 2006)

Thinking of A and all the other bloggers, photographers and journalists who have been arrested or whose whereabouts are unknown. May they be safe, unharmed, and soon return to their families.

In Solidarity

Iranians and others around the world are encouraged to release green balloons into the sky at 1.00 pm Friday Iranian time.

In the words of fellow blogger Green - "People are called to send "green" balloons to the sky on Friday in Iran and any where else in the world. Sky is ours if they ban us express ourselves on the ground. They may shoot our balloons but at least we can be happy that no one dies."
