Over 550 Activists and Social and Cultural Figures Protest the Arrest of Zeinab Peyqambarzadeh
From Weforchange.net (The site has been filtered for the fifth time in less than 8 months):
Change for Equality: In a statement of protest issued today, May 14, 2007, over 550 activists and social and cultural figures have objected to the arrest of Zeinab Peyqambarzadeh, a women’s rights activist, journalist and student leader, who was sent to Evin on May 7th.
Those signing the protest statement have specifically objected to threats against Zeinab’s father and retaliatory measures employed by judiciary officials, who placed Zeinab in prison because she refused to respond to an illegal verbal telephone summons to appear in court.
The signatories have also objected to the lack of adherence to laws by the judiciary officials, who have thwarted the process of her release on bail. The statement also expresses grave concern for the health of Zeinab who is dependent on heart medication, to which she has had no access since her imprisonment. The statement in Farsi was published on the Site of the One Million Signature Campaign, of which Zeinab is an active member.

Thanks for posting this. She was initially arrested because of her participation in the "the One Million Signature Campaign". By the way, two her close friends in Iran, two days ago, had their persian blogs filtered and taken off the web.
Makes you wonder, where is the outrage from the left?
