Iran: 'The Iranian government is moving to silence Internet and Web-log communications, the last remaining outlet for freedom of expression in the country. Many of Iran’s most high-profile civil society activists rely on the internet to get their message out. Human Rights Watch said that the Iranian authorities are arresting these activists and bloggers in order to cripple the country’s growing network of independent nongovernmental organizations (NGOs).'
