Mullahs arrest more Iranian bloggers.
Via BBC -
"Six online journalists and webloggers have been arrested in Iran recently in a crackdown on dissent on the internet."
...
"We do not know where they are being held. We heard they have been kept in solitary confinement" - Detained journalist's relative
Of course a few days after the arrests, so-called "reformer" President Khatami will condemn these detentions, the bloggers will be released, and then the Mullahs and their friends throughout the world will claim that the regime is quite tolerant and allows dissention.
Pejman agrees it can be dangerous to blog in Iran.
