The Iranian Bloggers,

hundreds of them, have all changed their site names to Emrooz in defiance of the Iranian government’s crackdown on reformist news sites, says Nema.

(From what I can gather a website named Emrooz was shut down, among all the other media repression going on in Iran. )

MORE: Continuous discontent coupled with public disclosure and protest is the only way we can change Iran into democracy that protects human rights.

Bloggers united for freedom and in defense of another blogger. Cool. Any ideas how we could give them a hand?

UPDATE: RSF is inviting bloggers and other Internet users to show support for the two remaining jailed journalists by sending email messages to internet.persan@rsf.org. The messages will be forwarded to the families of the journalists and posted on RSF’s website.
Gee they’re making it awfully easy to stand for freedom and with our Iranian blogger brothers, just a click away.

Maybe we could add EMROOZ to our web names to follow their lead? I’ll do it if you will.
