Iran confirms investigation of CSUN student Esha Momeni
(October 28, 2008)
LONDON, October 28 (IranMania) - Iran’s Foreign Ministry says Esha Momeni, a Los Angeles-born Iranian-American graduate student, is being investigated by the judiciary, PressTV reported.
“The relevant bodies are pursuing her case. Nothing has been finalized yet,” said Foreign Ministry spokesman Hassan Qashqavi on Monday.
Momeni’s attorney Mohammad Ali Dadkhah says the 28-year-old California State University student was conducting a research concerning the status of women in Iran.
She was reportedly arrested on Oct. 15 after a driving violation.
“Esha Momeni’s parents told me she has been informed of the accusations over her activities in the women’s signature campaign,” AFP quoted Dadkhah as saying.
The US has requested Switzerland, which represents American interests in Tehran, to find out more about Momeni’s case.
