It is amazing. Now the American CIA seek how their memebers are in Iran and openly name and support them, and there seems to be no shame for these members to operate in Iran, where 39 yeras back, no one dared to announce his/her support for America, nevermind being their agent. What a strange bunch we Iranians are. 39 yeras ago supported Mosco, and now Washington.

The genius with a conscience

by Shifteh Ansari on Sat Dec 10, 2011 02:05 PM PST

For a very long time, Hossein Ronaghi Maleki was the Islamic Republic's worst nightmare. He helped thousands of Iranians inside Iran to have access to information by breaking through the Iranian government's censorship blocks on the internet. An unrelenting critic of the regime, he was one of the most significant "catches" the intelligence apparatus scored in the aftermath of the 2009 elections. A healthy young man of 25 at the time of his capture, brutal torture during his months of solitary confinement has left him sick with kidney failure and other ailments.

No matter how long he has been kept in solitary confinement or torture, Hossein Ronaghi Maleki never delivered the fake confession his captors wanted him to deliver against himself and others like him.

Ronaghi Maleki, who wrote under the name of Babak Khorramdin, is a true son of Iran, a gifted human being with a conscience. He and all the other political prisoners in Iran must be released immediately and their captors must be put on trial for crimes against humanity.

We owe these brave souls our full support and gratitude...

by Bavafa on Sat Dec 10, 2011 08:02 AM PST

I really like this new trend/design on IC to dedicate a spot and bring the pledge of these brave folks to the forefront.

We need to remember these brave bunch, cherish them, support them and not relent till they are freed.

 I hope the "prisoner of the day" continues as long as there is a political prisoner in Iran.

'Hambastegi' is the main key to victory
