New arrests

Norouz, a website run by the Mosharekat party, says that the Iranians whose names were mentioned in the televised 'confessions' by Esfandiari, Jahanbegloo and Tajbakhsh are arrested by the Intelligence service.

As far as I remember, Bijan Khajehpour and Ali Afshari were the only Iranians being mentioned.

Ali Afshari, a former student leader, ironically, is now a fellow at the infamous National Endowment for Democracy in Washington, DC.

But I think Bijan Khajehpour, a business consultant, must have been back to Iran after, according to his biographies, finishing a programme at a business school in Paris.

So it's very likely he is at least one of the people who is arrested.
