"Free Mojtaba and Arash Day"
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4278241.stm
Global blogger action day called By Jo Twist
The global web blog community is being called into action to lend support to two imprisoned Iranian bloggers.
The month-old Committee to Protect Bloggers' is asking those with blogs to dedicate their sites on 22 February to the "Free Mojtaba and Arash Day".
Arash Sigarchi is still in Lakan prison in the Iranian city of Rashat.
Fellow Iranian blogger Mojtaba Saminejad has been released from prison in Tehran but still faces charges.
They have both been deprived of their liberty by the Iranian government for expressing opinions on their blogs.
