DESCRIPTION:Akbar Ganji, Former Commander in Iran’s Revolutionary Guard \n\nAkbar 
 Ganji is considered Iran’s leading investigative journalist. A former 
 commander in Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, he is now known as Iran’s most 
 famous dissident. A supporter of the Islamic Revolution as a youth, Ganji 
 became disenchanted in the mid-1990s and served time in Tehran’s Evin 
 Prison from 2001 to 2006 after publishing a series of stories in which he 
 implicated the former President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and other leading 
 conservative figures in the murder of five dissident authors. Since his 
 release from prison he has been traveling outside Iran, meeting with 
 intellectuals and activists in the international human rights community. On 
 his way, Akbar Ganji joins the Council to discuss his goals for the 
 democracy movement in Iran, why women’s rights trump various 
 interpretations of Islamic law, and how the West can help promote democracy 
 in Muslim countries, particularly Iran. \n\nCheck-in: 5:30 PM, Program:
