I’ll admit, I’m not a ribbon sort of person. But this is one ribbon I feel compelled to display in support of journalist Roxana Saberi, who has been imprisoned in Teheran and convicted of espionage in a kangaroo court there. Both Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama have demanded her release.
Seven other journalists and two cyber-dissidents are also being held in Iran.
I encourage my fellow bloggers to join the rally and display this ribbon on your blogs in support of Saberi and her fellow prisoners, and in gratitude for the freedom of speech we enjoy in this and other countries with a free press.
Thanks to Anesthesiaoboist and Paul Levy for getting this blog rally going.
