DESCRIPTION:Iranian-American scholar Haleh Esfandiari’s arrest and subsequent 
 incarceration in Iran’s notorious Evin Prison in 2007 became an 
 international incident that sparked protests from some of the world’s 
 most influential public figures—including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, 
 and Madeleine Albright. What started as a regular visit to her elderly 
 mother, ended with Dr. Esfandiari as the victim of the far-fetched belief 
 on the part of Iran's Intelligence Ministry that she was part of an 
 American conspiracy for “regime change” in Iran. Through her ordeal, 
 she came face-to-face with the state of affairs between Iran and the United 
 States—and witnessed first-hand how fear and paranoia could create a 
 government that would take her captive. Dr. Esfandiari joins the Council to 
 share her personal story and extensive knowledge of Iran to paint a picture 
 of this country today and how it came to be.\n
