Islamic Republic of Iran has executed the first blogger in Iran!
When the Islamic Republic judiciary arrested the bloggers in Iran few years ago( Shahram Rafizadeh, Ruzbeh Mirebrahimi, Omid Memarian and HaniHanif Mazrui..... ), Shahram Rafizadeh was pointed out as the accused number one blogger and spent three months in prison under intense interrogation for confession.
Shahram Rafizadeh in his blog ( http://aknoononline.blogspot.com/ )protested to the execution of Yaghub Mehrnahad and wrote:

"Touching and changing the writing of Yaghub Mehrnahad in his weblog , Why? "
He added:
"The name of Yaghub Mehrnahad the civil rights activist , journalist and weblog writer will be registered now as the first weblog writer in the world in history, with his execution on the dawn of August 4, 2008 , one hundred and two years after the constitutional revolution, the name of the Islamic Republic has also been registered in the history but as the first government which have executed a weblog writer."
"I emphasize on his weblog writing because it seems not only there has been a touch to change the writing in his weblog but it was strange too, in order to dismiss him as a weblog writer. "

"Yaghub Mehrnahad in his first post on his weblog wrote:

"For years of activity in Non Governmental and people oriented organizations , I have learnt and experienced that every person need to speak and tell out one's grievances and that it would be good that person will speak to the people of the world. People of a world free from any slogan such as death to.... or long live .....and free from any language, religiouse, ethnic and geographic prejudices ........... "
"But about myself ..: I'm from the salt desert of Baluchestan and live in the city of Zahedan and i'm the president of the "Anjoman Javanane Sedaye Edalat" ( Association of the youth for justice )a Non Governmental organization and i have spent 25 spring of my life .....But i have come to join you the weblog writers , perhaps you might say that writing a weblog in our country has consequences and could face criminal charges and that the weblogers may face dangers , but i shall say those who bring charges against weblogers also call me as second class citizen.....
