Iran-American academic Haleh Esfandiari, director of the
Middle East program at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in
Washington, was taken into custody Dec. 30 during a visit to Iran and

prison. Carnegie's Karim Sadjadpour appeared on the Newshour with
Former Rep. Lee Hamilton, president of the Wilson Center, to talk about her
jailing and what cases such as hers say about Iran's regime.
