You are risking peoples lives. This is a government that arrests first and asks questions later.

If you are NOT a verified family member you should NOT be putting people at risk. Use the appropriate channels such as the Red Cross/Red Crescent.

If I can get on here (a non computer tech person) and find this stuff the Iranian gov't who is aggressively hunting down students etc to block their uprising can certainly find it.

Use your brains.

Bumping this and seconding it. Iran is a state where militia can shoot you and bury you in an unmarked grave. Don't help those filth aim their weapons.

Don't help murderers.

We're doing our best to spread the word in our countries. Be careful in yours, try and spread the news of this website as well, but only to people you trust. As your girlfriend said, people are being attacked. This situation is dire.
Also, try and delete the history of your post from your computer. People who were "twittering" (basically, using a website called "Twitter" to send out information on this,) have started to disappear. It's best to play it safe.
I wish you and your girlfriend luck, if you guys are really in Iran. Forgive my skepticism, if you're "legit," so to speak.

and what would be the purpose of someone making up his story?

Hell if I know. Some people do it for kicks, others to screw with the information. He probably isn't making up this story, but there's nothing wrong with being cautious.

The photos are some of the most convincing things I've seen, though I agree with the OP here. If someone's face is in a pic you'd like to post, edit it out. Doesn't have to be too elaborate--MS Paint FTW. Or a simple crop job.

I kind of wonder about the missing persons forum: we're not making anyone targets by posting them on here, are we?

Common sense would point to the fact that people of any political persuasion could be lost in the unrest, but sadly, it doesn't appear as if common sense is playing any role on the attacks on Iran's citizens.

I hope I don't come off alarmist here or seem like I'm dumping on any good attempts to reunite people. I'm just worried a bit by all the reports of the government monitoring the Internet.

I worked for the RED Cross and have friends in Iran. I created this topic thread because safe is better than DEAD.

We don't truly know what is going on but I can speak from personal experience and from what my persian friends have told me about the first revolution and the fear they have for their families back in Iran right now.

Posting peoples names and photos is a dangerous thing to do. My friends don't even want to say their families names on the telephone lines.

Be cautious. Support the revolt. Reach out but don't stupidly give away information that could cost someone's life or their families to be beaten.

That's all.

Got to agree with the thread started. It's pretty stupid to post up details and photos of someone you are worried about or simply heard about. May as well put a bounty on their head while you are at it. Remember that it won't just be your best buddies reading this website. People who hate you will read your messages too. Keep that in mind when you write.
