Iran confirms it's holding another US citizen

2007-06-09

Iran confirmed Friday for the first time that it is holding an Iranian-American peace activist, at least the fourth dual citizen it has detained in recent months, according to a semiofficial news agency. The Iranian Student News Agency said that Ali Shakeri of Lake Forest, California, was being held on security-related charges and investigated by the security department of the Teheran prosecutor's office. It provided no source for the information and calls to Iranian judicial officials were not immediately returned Friday, a weekend day in the Islamic country.

#8 I've mentioned. To the blond wife and to the daughters as well. Fortunately their passports are still being renewed, so they can't possibly go with him. Hopefully something will come up to keep him from going, but he's stubborn, and this may be a midlife crisis thing -- he's at the right age, and hasn't bought a red sports car.

#7 Anyone, save a fellow terrorist, with plans of traveling to Iran is dumber than a sack full of hammers. Why not save a whole lot of time, trouble, money and effort by just staying home and leaving the stove gas on?

#6 Shit. The Iran-born Baha'i father of trailing daughter #2's best friend is going back to Iran to visit family this summer. He's been waxing nostalgic for the old sand in recent years... his nostalgia has really bad timing.

..if #2's best friend decides to accompany her pop, use skullduggery if need be to sabotage trip...

#5 TW: please warn your friend. In all seriousness, Baha'is, especially any with an American connection, should not go to Iran right now.

#4 TW, bad timing indeed. Recommending overcoming nostalgia entirely and for Baha'is, twice the measure.

#2 They have so deep a need for scapegoating that they canibalize their fifth colon tools. Marvelous!

#1 It's just part of Iran's project to expand culture and tourism.
