Iran – American Citizens Disappearing in Iran On The rise.

Iran – Yet another American citizen has disappeared in Iran and is feared to be in detention, according to Human Rights Watch, a nongovernmental organization based in New York.

Ali Shakeri, an Iranian-American dual citizen, was scheduled to leave Iran on May 13, but “he disappeared from the radar,” Human Rights Watch’s Hadi Ghaemi said.

Ghaemi has been in touch with Shakeri’s associates who say the political activist and writer from Irvine, Calif., was in Iran to visit his mother who died while he was there. [abcnews]
