3 | Iranian programmer Saeed Malekpour will be celebrating his 40th birthday Friday from behind bars, where he's completing his sixth year in prison for creating an open source software program that others used to upload pornographic images to the Internet. | Any am-ponja i Saeed Malekpour, ilay Iraniana mpanoratra rindrambaiko, no hankalaza ny faha-40 taonany, toerana mbola hanefàny ny sazy enina taona an-tranomaizina noho ny namoronany rindrambaiko manana loharano misokatra izay azon'ny hafa nampiasaina nampakarana sary vetaveta tety amin'ny aterineto. |
4 | His story is an example of the fear Iranian authorities use to control the nation's Internet space. | Ohatra iray amin'ny fampiasàna horohoro ataon'ny manampahefana Iraniana ny tantarany, mba hifehezana ny tontolon'ny aterineto ao amin'ny firenena. |
5 | Saeed was arrested in 2008 on charges of threatening the nation's Islamic ideals and national security via propaganda against the system, but evidence against him was scant. | Voasambotra tamin'ny 2008 i Saeed noho ny fiampangana azy ho manohintohina ny filaminam-pirenena amin'ny fanelezana hevitra manohitra ny rafitra, saingy tsy ampy ny porofo hamelezana azy. |
6 | He spent time in solitary confinement and gave forced confessions - widely publicized on national television in 2010 - that were extracted under torture. | Nandany ny fotoana nitanana azy taminà fanokana-monina izy ary noterena hanao fiaiken-keloka - naely be tao amin'ny fahita lavi-panjakana tamin'ny 2010 - izay azo noho ny fampijaliana. |
7 | The context of these confessions included electrocution and threats of rape. | Tafiditra tao anatin'ny fomba nahazoana ireny fiaikena heloka ireny ny fandoroana tamin'ny herinaratra ary ny fandrahonana fanolanana. |
8 | He was originally sentenced to death, until what some activists believed was the influence of global attention and internal pressure convinced Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei to call off his death sentence. | Tany ampiandohana dia nohelohina ho faty izy, taorian'izay inoan'ireo mpikatroka mafàna fo sasantsasany ho noho ny fifantohan'ny sain'ny manerantany sy ny tsindry avy ao anatiny nanaratsy lahatra ny Mpitondra Faratampony ao Iràna, Ayatollah Khamenei, hanafoana ilay sazy fanamelohana ho faty. |
9 | Saeed's arrest, which was widely seen as a way to spread fear, coincided with the start of strict Internet control policies after a cyber crimes law was ratified in Iran in 2008. | Ny fisamborana an'i Saeed, izay tsinjon'ny rehetra ho toy ny fomba entina mamboly tahotra sy fanarahamaso, dia nifanandrify tamin'ny fanombohan'ny politika fanarahamaso henjana ny aterineto taorian'ny nahalanian'ilay lalàna iray tao Iràna tamin'ny 2008 momba ny heloka bevava atao amin'ny aterineto. |
10 | This week, many Iranians from both inside the country and the diaspora are convening in Berlin for iBridges to celebrate the burgeoning technology scene for start-ups and entrepreneurs. | Amin'ity herinandro ity, marobe ireo Iraniana avy ao anatiny sy ivelan'ny firenena no mikarakara fihaonana ao Berlin ho an'ny iBridges mba hankalaza ny fihamaroan'ireo mpandraharaha sy ny sehatry ny taninketsan'ny teknolojia vao miantomboka. |
11 | While IT development and the expansion of opportunities for Iran's population is something to be applauded, the victims of Iran's Internet policy should not be forgotten. | Raha zavatra tokony hotehafana ny fandrosoana sy ny fitaran'ny vintana ahafahan'ny vahoaka ao Iràna manao zavatra, dia tsy tokony ho hadinoina kosa ireo nidiran'izay matsatso noho ny politikan'ny aterineto ao Iràna. |
12 | Exactly a year ago, many in the Internet freedom community took a strong stance to advocate for the release of jailed technology bloggers known as Narenji. | Herintaona katroka izao, marobe tao anatin'ny vondrom-piarahamonin'ireo mpandàla ny fahalalahan'ny aterineto no nijoro nisolo vava ny hamoahana am-ponja ireo bilaogera momba ny teknolojia fantatra amin'ny hoe Narenji. |
13 | There was a small victory when they were released this past October. | Nisy fandresena kely ihany rehefa injay ry zareo ireo navotsotra tamin'ny Oktobra lasa iny. |
14 | But Saeed is amongst a handful of developers still serving indefinite prison sentences. | Saingy mbola isan'ireo mpamorona rindrambaiko azo isaina amin'ny rantsan-tànana manefa sazy an-tranomaizina tsy hay hoe mandram-pahoviana i Saeed. |
15 | Amongst whom are Vahid Asghari, an Iranian blogger and information and technology student, as well as Hassan Siskati, another programmer and cyber activist. | Isan'ireny ry Vahid Asghari, bilaogera Iraniana sady mpianatra momba ny fampitam-baovao sy ny teknolojia, sy Hassan Siskati, iray hafa mpamorona rindrambaiko ary mpikatroka mafàna fo ety anaty aterineto. |
16 | In an email from Saeed's sister, Maryam Malekpour, who is now based in Canada, told Global Voices that she and a group of activists are launching a campaign for him using the hashtags #FreeSaeedMalekpour #HBDSaeed and #LifesNotFair. | Tao anaty imailaka iray nalefan'ny anabavin'i Saeed, Maryam Malekpour, izay monina any Kanadà amin'izao fotoana izao, dia nolazainy tamin'ny Global Voices fa nanomboka fanentanana iray ho an'ny anadahiny izy sy ny vondrona iray misy mpikatroka mafàna, ampiasàna ny tenifototra hoe #FreeSaeedMalekpour (avotsory SaeedMalekpour) #HBDSaeed (Arahaba Nahatratra Ny Fetinao) sy #LifesNotFair (Miangatra Ny Fiainana). |
17 | Global Voices got in touch with a few IT technologists and Internet activists to comment on Saeed's 40th birthday in jail. | Nifandray taminà mpikirakira teknolojian'ny fampitam-baovao sy mpikatroka mafàna fo vitsivitsy ety anaty aterineto ny Global Voices mba haneho hevitra momba ny faha-40 taonan'i Saeed any am-ponja. |
18 | Mehdi Yahyanejad, founder of the Persian language social and political website Balatarin, had this to say about Saeed's continued imprisonment: | Mehdi Yahyanejad, mpanorina ny Balatarin, tranonkala Sosialy sy Politika amin'ny teny Persiana, dia niteny toy ity momba ny fanohizana ny fitànana am-ponja an'i Saeed: |
19 | It is not justice to keep a talented software engineer in jail just because the software he developed was used by others for reasons deemed illegal by the Iranian government. | Tsy rariny ny fanohizan'ny governemanta Iraniana mitàna am-ponja injeniera iray manana talenta satria hoe fotsiny ny rindrambaiko noforoniny no nampiasain'ny sasany hanaovana zavatra tsy araka ny lalàna. |
20 | With that logic, every time a hacker uses Gmail to defraud someone, a Google engineer should also be arrested. | Miaraka amin'izany lojika izany, isaky ny misy mpijirika mampiasa ny Gmail mba hanaovana hosoka, tokony hisy koa injeniera iray ao amin'ny Google hosamborina. |
21 | I hope Saeed's birthday's can be celebrated as a free man. | Manantena aho fa ho afaka hankalazaina toy ny olona afaka ny fahatsiarovana ny nahaterahan'i Saeed. |
22 | Amir Rashidi, an Iranian internet researcher and activist, told Global Voices the following in an email: | Amir Rashidi, Iraniana iray mpikaroka amin'ny aterineto sady mpikatroka mafàna fo, nilaza tamin'ny Global Voices izao manaraka izao tao anaty imailaka: |
23 | A piece of open source code can be used in any system. | Azo ampiasaina amin'ny fotodrafitrasa rehetra ny ampahana rindrambaiko misokatra. |
24 | Just like many of the nation's software programs, such as as the Saina application and national search engines. | Tsy misy hafa amin'ireo fandaharanasa rindrambaiko marobe an'ny firenena, toy ilay fampiasa Saina sy ny milina fikarohana nasionaly. |
25 | A open source programmer who releases his code publicly is no longer responsible for the use of his code after it is published. | Ny olona iray mpamorona rindrambaiko misokatra izay mandefa ny asany ho an'ny daholobe dia tsy tomponandraikitra intsony amin'ny fampiasàna iny asany iny taorian'ny namoahany azy. |
26 | With Saeed's open source code, you could have built a program to either upload pornographic photos or religious ones. | Miaraka amin'ny loharano misokatra nataon'i Saeed, azontsika atao ny manangana rindrambaiko iray na mampàkatra sary vetaveta na sary masina koa. |
27 | Unfortunately, in our country the lack of understanding about the work done by individuals such as Saeed is not the only problem. | Indrisy, eto amin'ny firenentsika, tsy ny tsy fahampian'ny fahatakàrana ny asa vitan'ny tsirairay toa an'i Saeed fotsiny no olana. |
28 | In our country there is no clear law about cyber crimes. | Tsy misy lalàna mazava eto amin'ny firenentsika momba ny heloka bevava atao amin'ny aterineto. |
29 | Saeed was a victim of a lack of understanding from the regime about his work and the absence of clear and transparent rules of cyberspace. | Mizaka ny vokatry ny tsy fahampian'ny fahatakàran'ny fitondràna ny asa nataony i Saeed,ary ny tsy fisian'ny fitsipika mazava sy mangarahara mifehy ny tontolon'ny aterineto. |
30 | A happy birthday to Saeed in computer language (Binary): | Fiarahabana an'i Saeed nahatratra ny fitsingerenan'ny andro nahaterahany, natao tamin'ny fitenin'ny solosaina azy (Binary): |
31 | 01001000 01100001 01110000 01110000 01111001 00100000 01100010 01101001 01110010 01110100 01101000 01100100 01100001 01111001 Nima Fatemi, an Iranian Tor and free software developer, told Global Voices the following: | 01001000 01100001 01110000 01110000 01111001 00100000 01100010 01101001 01110010 01110100 01101000 01100100 01100001 01111001 Nima Fatemi, Iraniana mpanoratra rindrambaiko maimaimpoana sy ho an'ny Tor, niteny tamin'ny Global Voices toy izao manaraka izao: |
32 | A very happy birthday to Saeed whose story is a good lesson on why writing free software and expanding its culture is so important. | Tena mirary soa noho ny fahatratrarana ny andro nahaterahana ho an'i Saeed izay lesona lehibe ny tantarany momba ny maha-zava-dehibe ny fanoratana rindrambaiko maimaimpoana sy ny fanitàrana izay kolontsaina izay. |
33 | Writing code is not a crime and no one in this world should be prosecuted for it. | Tsy heloka bevava ny fanoratana rindrambaiko ary tsy misy olona eto ambonin'ny tany tokony hohenjehina noho izany. |
34 | Everyone, including governments benefit from free software and such actions hurt us all as a community. | Ny tsirairay, isan'izany ny governemanta, dia samy mahazo tombony avokoa avy amin'ny rindrambaiko malalaka ary manohintohina fatratra anay amin'ny maha-vondrom-piarahamonina anay ny fihetsika tahaka izao. |
35 | The first and most important value of this [free software] community is ‘freedom', and we should work together, strongly, to protect it. | Ny soatoavina voalohany sy manana ny lanjany ho an'io vondrom-piarahamonina [rindrambaiko malalaka] io dia ny ‘fahalalahana', ary tokony hiasa miaraka, mafy, isika mba hiarovana azy. |
36 | Mohamed Hassan, a Bahraini activist, IT blogger, and Global Voices author previously imprisoned in Bahrain for his writing, told us: | Mohamed Hassan, Bahraini mpikatroka mafàna fo, bilaogera momba ny teknolojian'ny fifandraisana sy fampitam-baovao, no sady mpanoratra teo aloha ho an'ny Global Voices, nofonjaina tany Bahrain noho ny zavatra nosoratany, nilaza taminay hoe: |
37 | Having been in a similar position I feel connected to Saeed, prison is about being robbed of your dreams, it's about fear, fear for the ones we leave behind, fear of the world that will re-enter. | Efa tamin'ny toerana toy io ka mahatsapa aho ho toy ny mifamatotra amin'i Saeed, ny fonja dia toy ny hoe fangalàrana aminao ny nofinao, resaka tahotra io, tahotra ny amin'ireo izay nilaozantsika any ivelan'ny fonja, tahotra ny tontolo izay hiverina hiditra indray. |
38 | A guy in prison told me that you should stop adding the years you spend in prison to your age, because years are measured by the progress we make and in prison you're not progressing. | Bandy iray tao am-ponja no niteny tamiko fa tokony hatsahatrao ny manampy ireo taona laninao tany am-ponja amin'ny taona niainanao,satria ny taona dia refesina amin'ny fandrosoana vitantsika ary any am-ponja tsy misy fandrosoana nataonao. |
39 | Saeed's birthday should be a reminder to the rest of us that while we progress in time we must remember those who live outside the boundaries of time, those who don't age as we do. | Tokony ho fampahatsiahivana ho an'ny sisa rehetra ny fahatratraran'i Saeed ny andro nahaterahany fa hoe raha mbola mandroso ao anatin'ny fotoana isika dia tsy maintsy mahatsiahy ireo miaina ivelan'ny fotoana, ireo izay tsy mitombo fahanterana araka ny iainantsika azy. |
40 | I pray for Saeed's release and the safety of his family. | Mivavaka ho an'ny famotsorana an'i Saeed sy ny fitoniana ho an'ny fianakaviany aho. |
41 | Nariman Gharib, an Iranian Internet researcher and activist, told Global Voices through Twitter direct message: | Nariman Gharib, Iraniana mpikaroka momba ny aterineto sady mpikatroka mafàna fo, nampita hafatra mivantana ho an'ny Global Voices tamin'ny alàlan'ny Twitter : |
42 | A lot of us know Saeed; those of us whose work involves the construction and understanding of web design. | Betsaka amintsika no mahafantatra an'i Saeed; isika izay manao asa mifandraika amin'ny fanorenana sy fahatakarana ny hoe fanomezana endrika ny tranonkala. |
43 | I am saddened by the fact that intelligent individuals find their place in the prisons of Iran. | Malahelo aho noho ny zava-misy izay hoe any am-ponjan'i Iràna no toerana ametrahana ireo olona marani-tsaina any. |
44 | Saeed dear, I wish you a very happy birthday. | Saeed malala, mirary fety sambatra ho anao amin'ny nahatratraranao ny andro nahaterahanao. |
