Iran news digest August 27, 2009

The gentle plea of Iran News Digest to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and security forces is very moving.

The digest is of news from Iran by big media outlets in what I can appropriately term ‘the free world’ – I found many (though not all) of the same by searching Google News, but it’s good to have aggregated. From it:

• Two 10 minute films on being gay in Iran
• An interview with Haleh Esfandiari, whose imprisonment was the first occasion I wrote to the Iranian government
• Patience
• A show trial
