Sina Motallebi was the very first blogger I knew. His weblog was the first I started reading. It is a pity to hear they have arrested him.
It is not just Dinothere are so many people like him. Those who dared to talk and were arrested and forcefully silenced. And those who did not dare to talk. They did not dare to open up their hearts and minds clearly: I, myself for example, and so many others like me,almost all the young generation of Iran. May be this is the first time I am talking up clearly. We had a lot to be worried about. Now that I am here, at least for the time being, I have to talk. I owe this to myself, to my country and to my generation. To the young people whose youth was completely wasted in the glommy, and harsh years of war, dictatorship, and injustice.
Being here, feeling and observing the very basic human rights taken from the people of my country, I feel a deep pain in my heart and soul. I wish there was a way to change things in Iran. There should be a way. I will do my best to start something at least while I am here.
I hope they free Sina soon. This was the least I could do...
