Rest in Peace Blogger of freedom and dissent!

Let the World know his name:

Omid Mir Sayafi

Let his epithet be he wrote for freedom---

Let the youth know that we in the FREE world that complain of the line being too long for a mochacrapafrappachino that people DIE for what we take for granted!

FREEDOM IS NOT FREE
This young man was jailed for writing against the religious leader of his country...

I gave up cursing for my Lenten self sacrifice---this man gave his life for writing a dissenting BLOG POST- my heart cries for his family.

We don't even know his true age, he's around 25... he might have lived to be just a regular guy-nothing special except to his family and circle of friends...he might have liked scrabble and fishing, perhaps he was a jokester---he might have been a jerk or a soft soul---I only know his death is on the hands of oppression.

"Iran has launched a crackdown on bloggers and internet users deemed to be hostile to the authorities and their Islamic values.

Those arrested include Hoder Derashkhan, a Canbadian-Iranian journalist and blogger detained in Iran last November. Mr Derashkhan's family is said to have had no news of him since his arrest."

Please pray for Hoder Derashkhan... I hope he does not commit suicide as well.
