Reporters without Borders reported 23 journalists and bloggers were arrested last week.




BBC reported on her website in a backgroundstory why the election seems suspicious.
Less than 24 hours after polls closed, Ahmadinejad was called the winner with 63% of the votes. This was also in so-called pro-Mousavi areas.
Monitors from the opposite campaign teams, who by law are allowed to oversee every polling station, were issued with invalid ID cards or refused entry.
One third of the ballot boxes were mobile and transported from place to place, a 10-fold increase in the number of mobile polling stations.
Iran is a big country, yet they began announcing the results within four hours.
The article ends with a conclusion that it maybe never is cleared what the real results are and who won, but the people has lost her faith in the political system of a balanced religious leadership and the will of the people.
