Folks,
Kian Tajbakhsh got his PhD in Urban Planning from Columbia and is a serious
scholar, writer and teacher, as well as a personal friend of many of us.
There's current background at
http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/20090711/wl_time/08599190987000, and Wikipedia
has a good entry.
I urge signature on the petition. Its the least we can do. Perhaps others
have further useful information.
Peter Marcuse

*Subject:* Petition for arrested Iranian scholar Kian Tajbakhsh
Dear friends of Social Research,
We are contacting you because you previously signed our petition on behalf
of imprisoned Chinese scholar and Social Research author Liu Xiaobo. We
apologize for contacting you again so soon afterwards, but another grave
situation has arisen for which we urgently need your support. On July 9th,
2009 Iranian-American Social Research author Kian Tajbakhsh was arrested by
Iranian security services and is currently being held at an undisclosed
location. Although Kian had no involvement in the recent protests
surrounding the contested re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, he like the
many hundreds of people who have been arrested in Iran in recent weeks is at
serious risk of being tortured in order to extract a forced confession.
Please take a moment to click on the following link and sign the online
petition calling for Kian's release:
http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/5130/t/3443/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=429
It would also be of great help if you could forward this email to friends
who you think might be willing to join us in this effort.
Thank you,
Social Research
