Canadian Blogger Forced to Apologize to Mullahs

Canadian blogger Hossein Derakhshan was recently forced to apologize to the Mullahs before they would let him leave the Islamic Republic. Consider me not shocked. AP:

On his last visit to Iran, Canadian-based blogger Hossein Derakhshan was detained and interrogated, then forced to sign a letter of apology for his blog writings before being allowed to leave the country. Compared to others, Derakhshan is lucky.

Dozens of Iranian bloggers have faced harassment by the government, been arrested for voicing opposing views, and fled the country in fear of prosecution over the past two years.

1 I'm surprised they didn't murder him like they did with that Canadian reporter, Zahra Kazemi. Good thing he got out of there alive!

2 I wonder what would have happened if he had refused?

3 He probably would have been hung from a crane to be made an example of as many other political dissidents in Iran have been. If he was female, he'd likely have befallen the same fate as Ms. Kazemi (raped and beaten to death).
