Imprisoned Iranian journalist Ahmad Zeidabadi is the laureate of this year’s UNESCO Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize. He was selected by an independent international jury of 12 media professionals.

Ahmad Zeidabadi is currently serving a six-year jail sentence following Iran’s presidential election in 2009.            

Announcing the decision, jury president Diana Senghor said: “ The final choice of Ahmad Zeidabadi pays a tribute to his exceptional courage, resistance and commitment to freedom of expression, democracy, human rights, tolerance, and humanity. Beyond him, also the Prize will award the numerous Iranian journalists who are currently jailed.”

"Haji nuke lobbyist is a sack of Islamist liar"

Just wondering, how much credibility such name calling gives to our argument considering that nearly all responses to the critics starts this way.

AIPAC ought to have a better vetting process.

National Iranian Oil Company Haji nuke can repeat his Islamist lies with his  loutish Islamist language as much as he wants, it is an innate thing with his creed, however, he has to provide and cite my own words. He lacks the credibility to have his say so as proof. Boro Haji!

Thank You, Thank You, Thank you.

And what the heck has his religion got to do with the whole thing, apart from another proof of the fact that this so called "Islamic" Republic is as vicious on muslims as any other human being daring to think for himself? As for the "Republic" bit, LOL, as they say around here!

Zeidabadi is a practicing Muslim and nationalist-religious

by Mammad on Thu Apr 07, 2011 09:26 AM PDT

and believes in the religion that you constantly demonize. He is also a follower of Dr. Ali Shariati, the man you constantly label "Charlatan."
