Mohammad Ali Dadkhah: Prisoner of the day
The Guardian: A prominent lawyer who worked on the case of a Christian pastor on death row in Iran for apostasy, which made headlines around the world, has been sentenced to nine years in jail.
Speaking to the Guardian from Tehran, Mohammad Ali Dadkhah said he had also been banned from teaching at universities or practicing law for an extra 10 years.
"I have been convicted of acting against the national security, spreading propaganda against the regime and keeping banned books at home," he said. Iranian authorities have used such vague charges in recent years to incriminate activists and lawyers in recent years.
Dadkhah has represented several political and human rights activists jailed in the aftermath of the country's 2009 disputed elections. He has also been the lawyer of the 32-year-old Yusuf Naderkhani, whose sentencing to death for apostasy triggered an international outcry >>>

“And say, finally,
by vildemose on Fri May 04, 2012 02:56 PM PDT“And say, finally, whether peace is best preserved by giving energy to the government or information to the people. This last is the most legitimate engine of government. Educate and inform the whole mass of people. Enable them to see that it is their interest to preserve peace and order, and they will preserve them. And it requires no very high degree of education to convince them of this. They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.” – Thomas Jefferson

Airtight sanctions, air/naval cargo inspection along with sane world's logistical help to the enslaved Iranian people is a must.
