Hoder's Arrest/2

In my view, the most comprehensive reports on Hoder's detention so far: Tehrani's for Global Voices Advocacy and Zarwan's on his own blog, The Skeptic.

clipped from advocacy.globalvoicesonline.org Update on Hoder In recent days some sites and blogs wrote that Hossein Derakhshan, Hoder, was arrested. All refer to two things to prove such a claim: Iranian Jahan News site’s report and this fact that Hoder has not updated his blog for 2 weeks. clipped from elijahzarwan.net 1014 Where’s Hoder? Where’s Hoder? If the Iranian government has detained him, they should say so. If he is free, he should say so. A few days ago, Jahan News reported that Iranian-Canadian blogger Hossein Derakhshan, better known on the Internet as Hoder, had been arrested soon after his return to Iran, and that he had confessed to spying for Israel. On November 17, the official Islamic Republic News Agency ran the first part in a series of “confessions” from a “Hossein D, one of the people misled by the reformist movement.” (Global Voices has helpfully translated the full IRNA item. It should sound familiar to anyone who has seen previous propaganda “confessions“).
