Foreign Secretary David Lammy set out "the future of the U.K.'s foreign policy" this week. It's an abysmal vision, says Dr. David McGrogan, but it gives hope that the edifice of 'progressive realism' will soon collapse.

Another human rights activist is imprisoned. Emadeddin clearly opposes US Imperialism.

We are writing to express our grave concern regarding the arrest of Mr. Emadeddin Baghi on October 14, 2007, and his continued detention. Mr. Baghi is best known internationally as a prominent Iranian journalist, author, and intellectual, and as a leading human rights defender inside Iran as well as the founder (in 2003) of the Association for Defending the Rights of Prisoners in Iran--the pioneering organization of its kind in Iran, which defends the basic rights and human dignity of all prisoners and advocates the abolition of torture and the death penalty.

Prior to his recent arrest, Mr. Baghi already had served a jail sentence from 2000 to 2003 for his journalistic activities and was subsequently subjected to regular intimidation and harassment by the authorities, ranging from the confiscation of his passport to "legal" proceedings against him and his family members.

Mr. Baghi consistently has spoken out against violent social change while promoting freedom of expression and greater democratic rights. In his unflagging endorsement of freedom of expression in Iran, Baghi steadfastly has condemned outside overt or covert state intervention in Iranian affairs. This includes his public rebuke of the US State Department's allocation of funds for "pro-democracy" groups and human rights NGOs inside Iran.

His arrest might have something to with this.

"I find Mr Bush a resilient and determined individual and think it would be out of character for the Americans to leave him out in the cold at such a crucial time. I listened to one of the three debates and I found Mr Bush very sensible and philosophical and his comments tuned with today's needs and problems."
Reza Dehghan, Shiraz, Iran.
