Here’s a report on Potestas that Iranian blogs and websites are being blocked.
the main reformists websites are still blocked.if the reformist want to continute the battle for democracy they should pay more attention to internet and cyber space.they should use the coming months in parliment and prepare the enough laws for filtering.they should not lose this chance again.they also can impeach the ICT minister for blocking hundreds of political websites and weblogs.
i think what we need is some serious international action regarding the filtering.a report like what harvard berkman institute prepared for china can be the first step toward this issue.
ben edelman and colleagues at harvard listen our voice and be quick.
Browsing around the few that I know, I’m seeing no 2/20 posts; that certainly not definitive and my Iranian reformer blog list is uncertain.
Anyone know more about this, one way or the other?
I’ve got some spare web space (dozen mb or so) if a dissident needs a new host.
This is OT, and I am sorry that I can’t just e-mail it, but my service is acting funny. I thought that you might find it interesting AL.

A.L.:
Lady Sun posted today. She has a post about the closing of reformist newspapers.
Couldn’t bring up either Hossein Derakhshan, or Iranfilter, which according to The Eyeranian (which is up) they intended to monitor the elections all night. The fact that their websites are down is somewhat ominous (possibly).
WhoMan seems to be up, but hasn’t posted anything since the 19th.
The Pensive Persian is up, but hasn’t posted since the 14th.
