If you’re not aware of it already, imprisoned Iranian blogger Mojtaba Saminejad commenced a hunger strike on May 14 to protest against his detention. To spread awareness about Mojtaba’s plight, the Committee to Protect Bloggers has called for a ‘media fast’ on May 26 (this Thursday). The idea is that on that day bloggers should post only about Mojtaba’s case and link back to the CPB post.

So if any of you have a blog of your own, please consider participating. To make things simple I’ve made a couple of images files that you can simply insert into a post on Thursday. You can choose between a wide image, or a slightly narrower one.

Wide image

To use the wide image copy and paste the following code into your post:

<a href='http://committeetoprotectbloggers.blogspot.com/2005/05/media-fast-for-mojtaba.html'><img src='http://img133.echo.cx/img133/9486/mojtabawide7mc.gif' alt='This blog is fasting today for Mojtaba' /></a>

Narrow image

To use the narrow image copy and paste the following code into your post:

<a href='http://committeetoprotectbloggers.blogspot.com/2005/05/media-fast-for-mojtaba.html'><img src='http://img204.echo.cx/img204/1064/mojtabanarrow9sn.gif' alt='This blog is fasting today for Mojtaba' /></a>

This is the very least we can do to help, so please join in.
