One of my young co-workers is from Iran and has many friends and family there. Today she told me that she hadn't slept in three days because she was so concerned about what was happening in Iran after the re-election of Ahmadinejad. One of her friends there, she said, has been arrested, and no one has heard from her since. It's difficult to get information from Iran; the Iranian government is limiting communication access. Foreign reporters are confined to their hotels and are forbidden to report events. My young friend is trying to keep in touch with her friends through Facebook.
Another of our young co-workers is in Iran now; she and her brother left the U.S. in May to visit family in Iran for several weeks.
