IRAN: U.S. ANALYST ARRESTED IN TEHRAN

Tehran, 9 May (AKI) - A US Middle East expert of Iranian descent who had
been prevented from leaving Iran since last December has been arrested and
is detained at Tehran's Evin prison, the Washington-based Woodrow Wilson
International Center at which she heads the Middle Eastern programme said
Wednesday. Hales Esfandiari, who has double US-Iranian citizenship, left
Iran in 1979 but had been returning twice a year for the past ten years to
visit her 93-year-old mother, her husband Saul Bakhash, an historian at the
George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, said.

Last year another academic with double Iranian-Canadian citizenship, Ramin
Jahanbegloo, was detained in Iran for a few months and released after he
'confessed' that foreign agents could have used his work for political ends.

Esfandiari had organized on behalf of her think tank conferences on the
Iranian nuclear programme and on the future of reformists in Iran.
