Parents of expat Iranian blogger arrested ahead of 22 Bahman?

This is very bizarre: the parents of one of the best news providing Iranian blogger were summoned to intelligence office and have gone missing; presumably arrested!
Internet has gone south in Iran!
Armed forces have occupied Tehran!
Intimidation tactics are intensifying either in the form of threatening phone calls in televise interviews that some thug declares the university 'liberals' are a cancerous entity that must be removed no matter the cost!
When they cannot access the freelance reporters who blog from outside Iran, they put the screw on their families!
Many people are indeed intimidated; and have made travel plans to be "away" for the upcoming protest day!
This is "hokoomat-e adl-e Ali" ...
I had planned to keep my mouth shut about 22 Bahman; I was hoping they will come to their senses and let people protest peacefully; but it seems they have started provocation already; have started rubbing salt on the wounds of a nation who is s till mourning the "deaths on the streets and prisons", while the perpetrators of crime are promoted to higher judiciary positions ...
I had planned to keep my mouth shut; but now they have forced me to stand in solidarity with a fellow blogger ...

Provocation they can do; distraction they can attempt; intimidation they can play; but they cannot take our eyes off of the ball ... "WE" are not after toppling one regime and replacing it with another; WE are after making it known to us before all else that "We are humans, the representatives of god on earth; every single one of us" ... We are the peace; we are the dignity; we are the true muslims who will not bow to the tyranny of men who declare themselves god ...

And yes; we are willing to pay for all their foolishness to bail our country and dignity out. These maniacs need to be stopped, before their madness disgrace us in history ... they need to be stopped and be given a time-out or therapy to recover from their daemons ...
Talibanization of Iran must stop now ...

As I am finishing this post; I hope the story of parental arrest and fear mongering stories are just a misunderstanding; in which case I will make a corrective comment and apologize to the IRI for jumping to conclusions!!

I was shocked to read that this morning. His two sisters were arrested last week! They are a really active family, sisters and parents are also political activists, so he's not sure if the arrest had to do with him, or with their own efforts.
He's the only one out of prison!
Naj, this is terrible. They are terrorizing the country, and the perverts have the nerve to get on TV and talk about ... (argh) I was just watching Haddad Adel on IRIB1. I know the man is a bloody liar, but I just couldn't believe the stuff he was saying.

I believe the Rah-e Sabz story about Rafsanjani going to the leader. But I think it's now just hopeless. How can the root of this problem solve the problem?
