NYT writer arrested for allegedly working as secret agent of the Iranian government
2021-01-30
[Gregg Jarrett] Another day, another New York Times scandal. Yet, barely any coverage.

Kaveh Afrasiabi, an opinion writer for the New York Times, was arrested and charged with acting and conspiring to act as an unregistered foreign agent for the Iranian government.
Doing his small bit to shape the cultural battlefield in Iran’s favour. And now he’s been arrested, to be followed by either trial and conviction or being PNG’d. This is going to make President Biden’s negotiations more difficult...
If convicted, Afrasiabi could be sentenced to 10 years in prison.

But, is that long enough?
