Amin Ghazaei, a prominent Iranian writer and leader of the group Students for Freedom and Equality, was arrested on January 14, 2008, in a meeting in Tehran along with 14 other students. He is reported to be held without charge or trial in solitary confinement in Evin Prison, and to have been tortured. Amin is known for the journal he edits, ArtCult, and his many online articles, two collected volumes of which have already been published. He has translated several books into Farsi, among them works by Judith Butler, Jean Baudrillard, and Donna Haraway. The detention of Amin and his fellow students follows a wave of repression in Iranian universities in December 2007, when many students were arrested after campuses erupted in protest. Quite apart from the accusations of torture, there is concern for Amin’s health, as he reportedly suffers from a peptic ulcer, heart problems, and asthma.
