Here is a wrapup to the serious crackdown on a few Iranian reformist websites:
Since last year, some judiciary officials in Iran have shown ultimate determination to shut down two reformist websites, Emrooz and Rouydad.
First they officially ordered the Telecom company to filter them, then after a few months, since the websites hadn't stopped operating, they stormed their ISPs and arrested some technicians helping them.
