Dissident bloggers

The Independent covers the use of blogs by those fighting for the basic freedoms we take for granted.

Just by simply opposing their regimes or forwarding a different point of view has put these very brave bloggers in real danger.

Iran might be somewhere few English people visit but Tunisia and Vietnam are no strangers to British tourists, yet all are repressive and cruel to those that dare voice any opposition.

Well done to The Independent for featuring this subject as their lead story.
