The iranian authorities have not yet released all of the british embassy employees, and already caught a new "foreign agent". A french student has been arrested for alleged espionage. Clotilde Reiss , who was working as a teacher of french at the university of Isfahan was taken into custody in the notorious Evin prison in Teheran for making fotos of demonstrations with her cellphone and sending an E-mail with informations about demonstrations to a friend.
French commentators believe the case could be a response to President Sarkozy taking a hard line on Iran....

Iran seems to be arresting just about everyone these days. Perhaps they're trying to build a real life "It's A Small World" ride.

Perhaps, personally I feel they're looking for a scapegoat. The US didn't work as Obama didn't play along. Britian didn't work as Brown didn't play along. Now they're trying france... s long as they're western and 'imperalistic'

In France ? When ?

No. I'm thinking of reactions to terrorist attacks in the United States, Spain and the United Kingdom.

A bunch of off-topic nonsense about Obama and some kid's ass removed from the thread.

For those following along at home, the topic of this thread is Iran arresting a French student.
