[ spotlight ] Since its launch on Feb. 20, Zahra's Paradise, a graphic novel about the social and political situation in Iran, has grown to 45,000 readers in 125 countries (and soon 12 languages), according to its publisher.

Today's guest blog entry is by the son of Zahra Kazemi, the Iranian-Canadian freelance photographer who died in the custody of Iranian officials in July 2003. The story of her legal case, as told by her son, will appear on Friday on here.

The smallest child
Understands:

Anyone who terrorizes us
Is a terrorist;

Anyone who steals from us
Is a thief;

Anyone who loves
Has won.

"Winning" by Alice Walker

She loved (& she is loved by us) . . .

And to add to Alice Walker's little poem":

Anyone who takes our rights away
Is a dictator

Anyone who rapes us
Is a rapist

Anyone who shoots at us
Is a murderer

Anyone who does all these in the name of god...
Will never taste the sweet waters of Zahra's own paradise
