One month after the arrest of Iranian journalist Ahmad Asgari, there is still no official news of his whereabouts.
The Human Rights Reporters Committee reports that Asgari was arrested by security forces last month in Tehran.
The report indicates that Asgari suffers from epilepsy and there is concern that he will not be provided with the necessary medication.
The committee claims that Asgari has been under pressure to confess to being in contact with political organizations outside the country and may be facing the charge of “enmity with God”, a serious charge that carries the death penalty.
Ahmad Asgari was first arrested in February of 2010 and released on bail. He was also briefly arrested on June 14 while he was taking photos of voting stations during the presidential election.

LIDICE – SREBRENICA MEMORIAL

Vilde blomster

på en gravplads,

førhen plantede de roser

og holdt taler.

Mændene blev stillet foran muren

på Horaks gård

10 på række med tysk grundighed

og smidt i en bunke,

børnene

dræbt som skadedyr.

Filmen viser os

racismens djævlefjæs

båret frem af strækmarch.

De døde hvisker en stemning

vores børn plukker blomster

til børnegravene

og taler med dæmpede stemmer.

Erindringen om en ugerning

der aldrig må glemmes

men

hvor lang tid tager det

at læse trehundredeogfyrre navne

…

bagefter

læser du de ottetusinde navne

og skriver tiden

efter 11. juli 1995

Lidice - Srebrenica Memorial
Wild flowersat a cemetery,
before they planted rosesand gave speeches.

The men were lined up in front of the wall
at Horaks farm
10 in a row with German precicion
and discarded in a heap,
kids
slaughtered like vermin.
The film shows us
devil’s face of racism
carried by the nazi march.

The dead whisper
our children pick flowers for
the children's graves
and speak with hushed voices.

The memory of an atrocity
that must never be forgotten

but
how long does it take
to read three hundred and forty names

...

afterwards you
read the eight thousand names

Srebrenica 11 July 1995 and count the time.
