Iran Imprisons American Student Esha Momeni [pictured above], an American university student in Iran to visit family and research women's rights, has been arrested and held for more than a week in Evin prison, the Tehran facility notorious for holding political prisoners.
Dozens of supporters of the Change for Equality campaign, launched by Iranian women activists in September 2006, have been arrested in Iran. The campaign is seeking to collect a million signatures in support of changing laws that deny women in Iran equal rights.

This is something Iranian people must do if they are ever going to get better rights. However, besides envoys and politicians, I would not want to be an American in Iran, not news reporter, student, or anything. I wish her the best of luck and hope this turns out well and soon.
