Iran continues shutting down bloggers


Hossein Derakhshan
has gotten breeze of more political censorship on the media in Iran, a big hit to the over 60,000 registered bloggers over there.

Friends in Iran, journalists and technicians, are saying that judiciary officials have ordered all major ISP to filter all blogging services including PersianBlog, BlogSpot, Blogger, BlogSky, and even BlogRolling.

I don’t think this will be the end of blogging and the attempt to voice free opinion in Iran. If we remember back to October, the BBC wrote an article about protests over censorship in Iran. Recognize Hossein in there? This guy deserves a lot of credit for what he’s doing not just in his blog, but publicly as well.

With the pressure being put on them day by day, the Iranian people are like a volcano ready to explode. The more the mullahs try to put a lid over the pot, the more the steam will build up, and eventually it will boil over.
