Let Hoder Speak!

Categories: Middle East & North Africa, Iran, Digital Activism, Freedom of Speech, Blogger Profiles

Following the suspension of Hossein Derakhshan’s blog [1](aka Hoder) by the U.S. based hosting company, Hosting Matters [2], an online petition [3] has been launched by The Eyeranian [4] in support of Hoder’s right to freedom of speech: “Hoder, like all of us, has a right to express his opinion. Opinions expressed in a personal weblog are just that; the writer’s personal opinions. Limiting such right without due process is unethical, and even illegal. We should all fight for his right to speak, since it is also about our own right to speak,” the initiator of Let Hoder Speak! [3] petition said.
