Iranian protestor MPs urged to blog their sit-in

Regarding sit-ins by Iranian MPs over a decision to ban thousands of reformists from February elections in Iran, Hoder blogs:

I just posted an open letter to Reza Khatami, deputy Parliament Speaker who is also one of the organizers of the ongoing sit-in in the Parliament, in my Persian weblog. I asked him to start a weblog in Persian and English and get some reporters to post unofficial news and updates along with unofficial pictures; of course if they want to be heard in the world. Weblogs are their best live medium while the Iranian TV and Radio is totally ignoring them and their only newspaper is not capable to be published more than once a day. This could give a serious recognition to this amazing democratic ethnology among Iranian activists and politicians. They must do it immediately. They’ll never regret it.
