Remember Their Names!

City boy has an excellent update on the Arrest of Amir Kabir University students, as always... He also has a brand spanking new blog. Go on over and give him your support.

These are six of the seven student activists from Amir Kabir University currently in solitary confinement at the 209 branch of Evin prison. Their crime is simply protesting against the dictatorial police state of the country, or as the fundamentalist regime puts it, “threat to national security”, more like a threat to their very existence.
Dr. Keyvan Ansari - Alumni Association of Iran, since September 18 (2006)
Babak Zamanian - Member of ISA, since April 21
Ahmad Ghassaban - Editor of Sahar, since May 3
Maghdad Khalilpur (not pictured) - Editor of Atiye, since May 7
Majid Tavakolli - Member of ISA, since May 9
Puyan Mahmudian - Editor of Divar, since May 9

Babak Zamanian, the former communication officer of ISA , is reportedly in a critical condition after the torture has left him with a heart condition. He has been recieving torture in order to admit to the allegations attached to him by the regime news outlets like Kayhan newspaper and Rajanews website that claimed he has connections to foreign countries.
