Update on Muntazar al-Zaidi: Rallies in Tehran and Washington
Sunday, December 28, 2008 at 13:14
The sad reality is that there is almost nothing to report on Muntazar al-Zaidi's case. There is total silence in advance of the trial date of 31 December.
The only story of note in the last 72 hours has been the protest of Iranians near Tehran University before Friday prayers. Even this requires a bit of searching, as only the BBC to my knowledge has provided coverage.
It will be interesting to see if the press gives any attention to a demonstration in a much different part of the world, Monday's rally in front of the Iraqi Consulate in Washington DC.
