GLOBAL BLOGGER ACTION DAY CALLED TUES 22 FEB
By the Committee to Protect Bloggers

Today, BBC News science and technology reporter, Dr Jo Twist explains how the blogosphere is being called into action tomorrow, to lend support to two imprisoned Iranian bloggers.

The month-old Committee to Protect Bloggers is asking those with blogs to dedicate their sites on 22 February to the "Free Mojtaba and Arash Day".



"If you have a blog, the least you could do is put nothing on that blog except 'Free Mojtaba and Arash Day'," said Committee founder Curt Hopkins. "That would mean you could see that phrase 7.1 million times. That alone will shine some light on the situation."

Download the "Free Mojtaba and Arash" banner to your blog and link it back to the Committee's post here. No one in the blogosphere should be unaware of Mojtaba and Arish.
