MSM Blackout: Iran’s Growing Student Dissent
Just a few days ago, Iran’s top student leader, Bijan Sabagh, was kidnapped. When this caused an explosive reaction by Iranina students, more disappeared into Iranian jails.
However, if you Google his name on “news” you get exactly one result. And it isnt’ American MSM. If you “web” google his name, you get a Radio Free Europe report, and some other obscura.
Does Sean Penn think this is “great” about Ahmedinejad and the Mullahs as well as everything else he thinks is “great” about them? Does this type of Irania Government behavior make it more or less likely that they should be believed when they say that Iran’s nuclear program is peaceful? When Ahemdinejad does things like this, does it mean he might actually lie about his country’s nuclear ambitions? Is this the kind of man and regime that one should take at face value, like the Leftists of this country would like us to? Why does the Left criticize our Government, but never our enemy’s?
From Memri:
Following a statement by Iranian Information Minister Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejeie that the students’ movement and the women’s movement were “elements of soft subversion” against the regime, Iranian security forces today arrested 15 students’ movement activists from Mazandaran University.
The arrests came after a number of students launched a hunger strike, barricaded themselves in a wing of the university, and boycotted classes in response to the April 14 arrest of students’ movement activist Bijan Sabagh.

Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.

Sean Penn probably thinks Iran is full of chocolate rivers just like he thinks Iraq has.
I think Bill Whittle over at Eject! Eject! Eject! had it right: These people are full of poison. Not only are they not qualified to make judgments on issues like this, but they have serious mental problems as well.

I always considered the propaganda was directed more at the Iranian home-grown audience in an effort to silence dissent than reaping any propaganda benefits with the rest of the world.
April 20th, 2007 at 8:14 amI’m thinking the message the Iranian government wanted to send to their own people resulting from the supposed intrusion by the Brits into Iranian waters was one of imperialist western powers threatening Iranian sovereignty. I.E.: The threat of western colonialism and occupation is greater than the reality of the Iranian government silencing the opposition, holding Iranian women down in a servile role to Iranian men, etc. Therefore, better to limit personal freedoms than capitulate to Western aggression.
Just a thought. Unfortunately, as usual our demediacrats haven’t bothered to either confirm or deny such a possibility. Never ceases to amaze how the demediacrats leap at the opportunity to give moonbats like Sheehan abundant opportunity to disparage the US but could care less about dissent when it comes to enemy states of the US.
