Atena Farghadani’s Lawyer Details Handshake Experience

It's hard not to let your jaw drop right to the ground reading about the experience the lawyer of artist Atena Farghadani had after being arrested for shaking his client's hand: two prisons, multiple interrogations, a total of four days swept out of his world and into that of the prisoner. One hopes that this builds both regional and international pressure in terms of the unreasonableness of the court in this case, and that that would somehow benefit Farghadani. Every day this continues is a real punch in the gut for civilization that any victor at this point would be tempered.
