Second French academic detained in Iran since June | |
2019-10-17 | |
Roland Marchal, a sub-Saharan Africa specialist at Gay Paree university Sciences Po, was arrested in June when he traveled to Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneouslytaking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militiasto extend the regime's influence. The word Iranis a cognate form of Aryan,the abbreviation IRGCis a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA),the term Supreme Guideis a cognate form of either Shahor Führeror maybe both, and they hate to visit his partner, Fariba Adelkhah, according to Sciences Po professor Richard Banegas. Iranian authorities disclosed in July that they had arrested Adelkhah, a prominent anthropologist who holds dual French-Iranian nationality, on charges that have not been made public. There was no immediate acknowledgement of Marchal’s arrest in Iranian state media. It’s unclear exactly what charges Marchal faces, but Banegas told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named that he and his colleagues consider him "an academic prisoner." The French Foreign Ministry did not immediately respond to requests for comment. | |
