The Importance of Sticking With Iran Posted by Gina Telaroli on July 17, 2009 at 10:19 am

The intense media coverage of Iran may have calmed down and folks may slowly be changing their avatars from green to normal (when is the appropriate time to do this BTW?) but there is still a lot happening in Iran right now.  The hardest part in fighting for one’s rights is often the period right after the frenzy dies down, when the rest of the world has gone back to their normal routines.

Below are some links to current coverage of the protests and events of the day.  Do take some time to catch up with it.
