Above: Via the Mousavi Facebook page, a petition
to ask Google to change their logo for one day.

Please consider voting. Below, the latest video from
today, June 18, 2009, via the HuffPost hero Nico.

UPDATE: Via Nico Pitney, Huffington Post. “8:59 PM ET — Huge news. For the last several days, people have been pressuring Google to make their homepage logo green for a day in a show of solidarity. They’ve decided to do something far more significant. Tomorrow, Google will launch a Farsi/English translation service, an ingenious way to help Iranians and English speakers exchange information and aid each other more effectively. Add this to their Iran coverage on Citizen Tube, and their decision to relax standards on graphic videos for the scenes coming out of Iran, and they deserve some serious props.”

You are so right, Mateo. Is it safe to say this is the moment we may be finally learning this great lesson, in real time, on a truly global scale?

Thanks too for the comment, Mostafa, at least they have the Farsi beta.

The people of Iran must be heard and their rights must be granted. Everyone needs to heed the words of Martin Luther King, “Injustice anywhere, is a threat to justice everywhere.” The people of Iran are our brothers and sisters; we must support them.
