Esha Momeni, a US–Iranian student, was recently held for three weeks in an Iranian prison and is currently being prevented from leaving the country. Momeni, a master’s student at California State University at Northridge, was working in Iran on a documentary about Iranian feminists when she was pulled over and arrested for supposed traffic offenses on October 15, 2008. She was held in Iran’s Evin prison where she was charged with “undermining national security and spreading propaganda against the republic” as a result of her interviews with individuals involved in the One Million Signatures campaign for women’s rights.

According to AFP, Judiciary spokesperson Ali Reza Jamshidi said that Esha has been banned from leaving Iran
