Iran's first female blogger

[Kevin]

The small article about it is at http://www.radionetherlands.nl/thestatewerein/otherstates/081122-tswi-blogging-Iran

But you can see her blog at http://sanamd.wordpress.com/

It seems to have caused a stir but from reading her blog I don't think she is writing about anything controversial, it just comes across as a normal blog.

well, for us, it may not be controversial but the fact is in some countries, having someone able to speak out what is in his/her mind is already controversial. Maybe that is the case, especially that in Iran, I think there only few bloggers.

that's is why i need about 3-4 second to notice about it. In the beginning, i ask to myself, what is so special about this topic which created by kevin. Oh, so there is "Iran people". As you said that in some country, people have no freedom to speak their mind even it's using blog.

yeah that was my point. It's amazing that her blog is causing so much of a stir as it's just a regular blog.

I remember the blogger from malaysia getting locked up but he was criticizing the government and pissing a lot of people off.

And also the one from burma, imprisoned for 20 years... :D For me, if they lock me into a cell, it's ok as along as I have online connection and a laptop inside.. :D

but still, it will be boring...Ok, there is a laptop, but how about the internet connection is only dial-up 56kbps? You will get mad :D

In indonesia, we must be careful if we wanna write about the other because there is a formal law called UU ITE which limit our freedom to speak via internet
