Talk:Evin Prison

I just removed this line:

The rescue of Abbas Edelat from this prison was orchestrated by United States Marine Corps Captain John Shoop.

Abbas Edelat was a redlink; John Shoop linked to the Raiders defensive coordinator (whose article did mentioned his time with the Chicago Bears, but not his time rescuing Islamic political prisoners). I searched Google for "Abbas Edelat" shoop -wikipedia and got only five hits, all of which seemed to be wikipedia mirrors that didn't give credit.

If a US Marine captain is planning extranational exfiltration operations into Iran, that's unusual enough. More unusual still would be the only mention of it on the internet being here. Unregistered editor at IP address 64.12.116.202, who made the edit, has been blocked enough times for vandalism that I can't assume good faith. If you have verifiable information, please replace this and source -- and maybe write a full article about it; sounds exciting. Deltopia 19:19, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alot of POV in this article

I'm not even going to get into how POV the 3rd paragraph is with suggestions about the Iranian government, and allegations about an autopsy which has yet to be cited. But there is no need whatsoever to add that Hamid Pourmand was a Christian convert. It adds the tone that Christian converts are jailed in Iran, which is false, as there are a large amount of Christians living freely in Iran. The Da Vinci code was banned in Iran due to Christian objection, and there are churches. The fact this guy was a Christian convert has no relevance regarding his detainment.
