Hossein Derakhshan (Hoder) is reportedly under arrest on accusations of espionage for Israel, among other charges.
The Persian blogosphere, however, seems to have not heard the news, for the most part. Hoder had in fact become an outsider in the blogosphere, not because of his ideas, but because of his repeated political swings and his untidy self-centric character. While still some people argue that this is another fake show like many others of his, my understanding is that the chain of events provides more evidence to back the idea that bloggers have to stay away from games of politics.
A blogger is and has to remain a “citizen observer”. Hoder’s long descent from carrying the title “the Godfather of the Persian blogosphere” to being interrogated by the regime while the Persian blogosphere seems to pay the least attention is a clear testimony to that.
