Ganji, Revolution & Cartoons · Global Voices
Fred Petrossian

Nima Milanian in Iranian Truth, a group blog, writes about Akbar Ganji, jailed journalist, Blogger  reminds us Ganji's solitary confinement and says:
“Five months in solitary confinement. There is a greater threat to the world then Iran's nuclear technology. Its treatment of political prisoners. Call on foreign governments to create policies that are contingent on respect for human rights .”
Abtahi, former Vice President and blogger, writes about Islamic Revolution's anniversary. Blogger tries to define real meaning of independence beyond slogans and criticize current government indirectly.
“ What the present generation who are mostly born after revolution need is to understand the present condition and to program as per their wish and need. This need will not be answered by slogans. In this highly connected world, Iran’s society more than ever needs a rational management which should avoid tiring confrontations and should define the real share of Iran’s power from the world power and to get its right. The real meaning of independence in today’s world is the high power of give and take. Those who define independence as isolation and conflict with the world are endangering the principle of the independence of the country more than others and therefore they are making the nation dependent to foreign powers.”
View from Iran, an Iran based blogger,  shares with us a fresh view about cartoons and Iranian people's reaction:
“We were talking about the cartoon furor which, despite what you might think, is not such a furor in Iran. Not that Iranians are not observant Muslims, just that they are sick to death of the manipulation of Islam for political ends.”
