Deportation of Iranian woman stayed!

November 22, 2006 - 10:04 am - by Roger L Simon

Pajamas has another scoop on the deportation of the Iranian dissident woman and her family at the Moscow airport. The European Court of Human Rights has ordered a two week stay on her deportation to Iran. It has been thrilling to work on this story, which the mainstream media has completely ignored, because we may have, at least distantly, be helping save a human life.

    You deserve all the pride you feel, Roger. This is so important, for so many people, this Pajamas Media project of yours (and all the other people involved, of course… but it was your idea in the first place!)

    Please may the lady and her family be safe.

    This is where the new media comes in!
    Great job, Roger!

  3. Now hasn’t this made you feel at least as good as winning the acclaim of a few critics for one of your novels? Maybe better?

    Roger: congratualtions on helping to get this done!

  5. Congratulations indeed, Roger–a real accomplishment.

    I note that there is still *no* coverage of this in the old media, as measured by Google News and checked on a couple of individual newspaper sites–even though this is an obvious human-interest story.

    When there are repeated omissions like this for what seemingly must be political reasons, it seems clear that the media orgazations in question are violating both their responsibility to their readers and their responsiblity to their shareholders.

    Way to go Roger. This would be a great story just on its merits. The legacy media getting PWN3D again is a holiday bonus.

    Roger,

    Congratulations on doing something truly worthy.

    The new media can and will continue to make a difference. Good people, focused on facts and technology has given new breath into “grassroot” initiatives.

    Keep the sunlight shining on the many people and issues that are so important to our future.

    Your Thanksgiving should be more fulfilling this year than most.

    To everyone, I thank you for expressing your thoughts in an informed way. I learn something everyday. I wish you all and your families the best this Thanksgiving.

    Roger,

    I thank you and your associates for the great work of bringing this matter before the court of world opinion. You’ve struck a blow for human decency and against the mullahs. God bless you and have a happy Thanksgiving.
