The three US hikers (Sarah Shourd, Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal) might all be free and happily back in the States now, but the Iranian lawyer who represented them, Masoud Safii is experiencing his own problems leaving the country. Last week, he was due to fly to the United States and had got as far as boarding the plane when his passport was confiscated by Iranian authorities by order of the judiciary.

So, America loses a lawyer, and Iran gains one.

Not ALL Iranians support the Islamic goons who are running their country. Some still consider themselves ‘Persian’, and are looked down on by their Arab Muslim rulers.
