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.
