More than 1,000 supporters urge Iran to end crackdown

Davari (RAHANA)
New York, February 10, 2011--As Iran marks the 32nd anniversary of the country's revolution on February 11, the Committee to Protect Journalists and more than 1,000 press freedom supporters delivered a clear message to Iranian Ayatollah Sayed Ali Khamenei today: Free your country's imprisoned journalists.

Iran is the world's leading jailer of journalists, with 34 behind bars--tied with China, CPJ research shows. While the Iranian government continues its intensive campaign to restrict the flow of information by repressing independent media, leading journalists such as Carl Bernstein, Rajiv Chandrasekaran, Hollman Morris, David Remnick, Roxana Saberi, and David Rohde are among the 1,102 signatories of CPJ's petition urging Iran to end this unjustifiable crackdown. The petition was delivered this week to Iran's permanent mission to the United Nations.

In its message, CPJ and its supporters urged Khamenei to immediately honor all Iranians' right to information by freeing all journalists serving sentences for daring to report the truth.

The petition was inspired by one victim of the crackdown, Mohammad Davari, who was a recipient of CPJ's 2010 International Press Freedom Award. As editor-in-chief of Saham News, Davari exposed appalling abuse and torture at a detention center in Iran. His coverage led to the closure of the center in 2009 but that same reporting brought about his own imprisonment some three months later. Davari continues to be held in solitary confinement in Tehran's Evin Prison, and reports say his health is deteriorating.

Robert Fisk: Hypocrisy is exposed by the wind of change
So when the Arabs cry out for the very future that Obama outlined, we show them disrespect.

Thursday, 10 February 20

VIDEO

There is nothing like an Arab revolution to show up the hypocrisy of your friends. Especially if that revolution is one of civility and humanism and powered by an overwhelming demand for the kind of democracy that we enjoy in Europe and America. The pussyfooting nonsense uttered by Obama and La Clinton these past two weeks is only part of the problem. From "stability" to "perfect storm" – Gone With the Wind might have recommended itself to the State Department if they really must pilfer Hollywood for their failure to adopt moral values in the Middle East – we've ended up with the presidential "now-means-yesterday", and "orderly transition", which translates: no violence while ex-air force General Mubarak is put out to graze so that ex-intelligence General Suleiman can take over the regime on behalf of America and Israel.

Fox News has already told its viewers in America that the Muslim Brotherhood – about the "softest" of Islamist groups in the Middle East – is behind the brave men and women who have dared to resist the state security police, while the mass of French "intellectuals" (the quotation marks are essential for poseurs like Bernard-Henri Lévy have turned, in Le Monde's imperishable headline, into "the intelligentsia of silence".

And we all know why. Alain Finkelstein talks about his "admiration" for the democrats but also the need for "vigilance" - and this is surely a low point for any 'philosophe' – "because today we know above all that we don't know how everything is going to turn out." This almost Rumsfeldian quotation is gilded by Lévy's own preposterous line that "it is essential to take into account the complexity of the situation". Oddly enough that is exactly what the Israelis always say when some misguided Westerner suggests that Israel should stop stealing Arab land in the West Bank for its colonists.

Indeed Israel's own reaction to the momentous events in Egypt – that this might not be the time for democracy in Egypt (thus allowing it to keep the title of "the only democracy in the Middle East") – has been as implausible as it has been self-defeating. Israel will be much safer surrounded by real democracies than by vicious dictators and autocratic kings. To his enormous credit, the French historian Daniel Lindenberg told the truth this week. "We must, alas, admit the reality: many intellectuals believe, deep down, that the Arab people are congenitally backward."
