Sina escaped Iran, with family

The Good news is that Sina Motallebi, the famous Iranian blogger who spent about three weeks in prison for his writings on his weblog and in reformist newspapers, has left Iran to Europe, along with his wife and little boy. He actually has started blogging again.

Update:
- I just talked to Sina on the phone. he was perfectly fine and so excited to be able to write again. His wife, farnaz, who herself was a well-known journalist, is with him and they are both Ok. He is now trying to decide where to stay and what to do next. So please if you can be of anyhelp to him and his family, don't hesitate to contact him directly at: sina_motallebi at- yahoo -dot com

The bad news is that here is yet another Iranian who was forced to leave his beloved country simply because of pounding the keyboard. Nobody should ever be put into this kind of position.

Man this note is terrible! Look at the way you just wrote? It's grammatically like a grade 4 ESL student! Instead spending time writing about shit heads in Persian, a bit practice pal.
