Iran Mystery: Is the "Un-Defecting" Scientist Shahram Amiri in Solitary Confinement?
What then is the situation with Shahram Amiri? The murky truth is that we do not know. The best we can do is stay observant and return back to the prediction --- not the confirmation, but the prediction --- made by a well-placed EA correspondent when Amiri returned to Iran.
The scientist, our correspondent judged, would initially be greeted as a hero. Then he would be "disappeared" in Iran's system, like others who have revealed unpleasant episodes such as the Chain Murders of the late 1990s.
That, for the moment, sits along a single interesting but far-from-established source.
