The graduate students at CSUN's Mike Curb College of Arts, Media, and Communications are planning a candlelight vigil for Esha, the Iranian-American graduate student held in Evin prison since October 15, where they will be watching and waiting for her safe return home. The organizers are Esha's friends and classmates who, like Esha, are pursuing masters degrees at CSUN. Their myspace blurb reads: "As part of the same college, the same city, the same community she belongs to, it's our responsibility to unite, support Esha, and ask for her release. Right now, she needs us."

This blog reflects news about Esha Momeni, the Iranian American artist, CSUN student, and Iranian women's rights advocate (of the One Million Signatures Campaign), who was arrested on Oct 15th in Tehran while visiting Iran and working on her Master's thesis project.
Esha was released on an excessive bail ($200,000, deed to her parent’s house) after 20 days in solitary confinement, and is currently accused of engaging in "propaganda against the state". Her passport has been retained by the authorities therefore she is unable to leave the country despite her desire to come back to California.
