Imprisoned blogger goes on hunger-strike

Reporters
Without Borders today called on bloggers throughout the world to post
messages in support of Iranian blogger Mojtaba Saminejad, who has been
in prison since 12 February and who began a hunger-strike on 14 May.

"The
life of this young blogger is in danger as he is being held in a prison
where several detainees have died or have been injured in violence
between inmates," the press freedom organization said.

"You must
talk about him on the Web and in the media in order to put pressure on
the Iranian authorities," the organization said, adding, "all bloggers
must feel concerned about his fate and that of his two colleagues who
are also imprisoned."
