Los Angeles Daily News: Iran holds CSUN student prisoner
CSUN student Esha Momeni is being held… (From the Free Esha blog at http://for-esha.blogspot.com/)
A CSUN graduate student was arrested last week in Iran and locked up in a notorious prison, and family and friends worried for her safety have launched an international campaign seeking her release.
Esha Momeni, 28, was working on a documentary about the Iranian women’s movement for her master’s thesis at California State University, Northridge, when she was taken into custody by Iranian authorities Oct. 15.
The American-born Momeni was detained while driving on Moddaress Highway in Tehran, where she was stopped for illegally passing another vehicle, said Hassan Hussein, a friend who is in contact with her family in Iran.
