Tuesday World Blog Roundup
Iranian presidential candidate Dr. Mostafa Moeen recently met with bloggers. (Moeen also has his own blog in Persian.)
Adventures of Mr. Behi has a detailed account – in English! – of the meeting. If you click through nothing else on this post today, click through to that.
Omid of the Iranian Prospect also shares his own brief impressions of the meeting.
Yasser of Under Underground also supports Moeen, though he's not optimistic of victory because he says “media in Iran boycotts him.” (Fence photo by Yasser in Iran, a 21-year old student.)
