US journalism prize goes to makers of Neda shooting film

Sadly, Neda will not live again, and still, Iran's leaders, those murderous thugs who spit on Muhammad Allah when they allow and encourage killers of free thought, remain in charge.

US journalism prize goes to makers of Neda shooting film
WASHINGTON (AFP) – The unknown people who videotaped the shocking images of an Iranian woman bleeding to death in a Tehran street and posted it on the Web were awarded a prestigious US journalism prize on Tuesday.

Long Island University said the George Polk Award for Videography for 2009 would recognize the "efforts of the people responsible" for recording the death of 26-year-old Neda Agha-Soltan and uploading the footage to the Internet.

Terrorism Continues

What is our response? So far, neither George W. Bush not Barack Obama could stop it.

So long as Islamic militants continue butchering in the name of their slaughterhouse god, citizens of this Earth like Neda Salehi will be murdered.

What can we do?

Iranian Professors Arrested by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's Thugs

The spinless, fearful Mahmoud Ahmadinejad thug crew simply will not tolerate freedom.

Iran university professors 'held'

About 70 university professors have been detained by Iranian authorities after meeting Mir Hossein Mousavi, according to a website affiliated to the defeated presidential candidate.

The Kalemeh website said on Thursday that it was not clear where the detainees had been taken after they were seized the previous day.

"Mousavi had a meeting with the country's ... professors after which 70 people present in that meeting were arrested," the website said.

Hundreds of protesters, political activists and journalists are believed to have been taken into custody since protests broke out over the disputed re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as president in the country's June 12 poll.

Iran in the Gulf and Translate 4 Iran

New sources of information are coming out daily. Naturally, all of this is bigger than one person, or even one country, but peace in the Middle East. In this case, Iran. A few years, and to a large degree still, Iraq, but the region on the whole is replete with killers in charge. There is North Korea, China, and various African countries under tyranny and oppression.

A tip of the hat to a good friend to freedom regarding the next two blogs.

• Iran in the Gulf
  Perspectives on Iran's place in the post-Saddam Middle East, with an eye towards the Gulf.



• Translate 4 Iran
  The Translation and Interpretation Initiative for Iranian Protesters (TIIIP) is an ad hoc initiative to produce free, publication-ready translations and high-quality interpretations of the written and spoken communication streaming out of Iran in the Farsi (Persian) language in the form of e-mails, YouTube videos, Facebook entries, press releases, etc. We leverage volunteer translators, interpreters, linguists, bilinguals, and technical and administrative support personnel to achieve these goals. Our approach is similar to crowdsourcing, but with greater emphasis on the use of professional translators, writers, and editors. Our platform is the wiki. We make liberal use of social media such as Twitter and Facebook to communicate and to attract attention to our initiative.
