At Five in the Afternoon

lady sun: "Women participating in the demonstration were beaten and arrested an hour ago. I just read in this blog and this one that the demonstration was brutally suppressed without even being started.
This blog says that Jila Bani Yaghoub, an Iranian prominent journalist was handcuffed and arrested.
I have no news about my friends. I should go to school now. I'll try to update more as soon as I get any news. Damn it...

*Update: One of my friends who was in an office near Hafte Tir square told me in yahoo messenger that there were a lot of policewomen with teargas. They had also red sprays to put on women, so that they would be recognized in case of escaping. She also said that the event was badly organized and not a single location in the big square was selected from before. So people were scattered in different parts of the square. She said some people were taken to jail and some people were taken to hospitals."

Touch the new life

It can’t be imagined but my favorite list of music is almost the same as a girl’s list comes from Uganda.
It can’t be imagined but I’m sharing my fears on getting arrested on the way back home with 2 other journalists come from Zimbabwe.
It can’t be imagined but now I know there is at least one person in Colombia who thinks the same as me on religion.
Here, in Kalmar. A small southern town in Sweden, it’s not a big deal to sit down and write about your feelings: almost everywhere in almost every time is quiet and clean. Green, is the main color of the city and there is not a kind of shocking news.
And this is Fojo, which made this opportunity for a group ofsome 20 journalists from various countries and continents to touch the life, which you couldn’t even imagine.
