 As Iran's election crisis continues, hundreds if not thousands of prisoners remain in Iran's notorious Evin prison. Few of them have faces known to the outside world. Some of them may have protested in the streets. Others were in Mir Hussein Moussavi's inner circle. Still others had nothing to do with either the protests or the opposition.

His name is Bijan Khajehpour.Bijan is one of the many prisoners who neither participated in the protests nor had any involvement with the opposition.

Another issue is when did NIAC suddenly become one of the foremost human rights advocates for Iran? Well you know when. When did you?
