Camelia Entekhabi-Fard is an Iranian Journalist who was
arrested in July 99 and released in October 99. She worked for
the now banned Zan newspaper in Iran and for other reformist
newspapers in Iran. She covered women's issues and politics. She
has an article (Behind the Veil) in the July/August 2001 issue of
Mother Jones magazine. She traveled to the US in 1999 where she
participated in several press meetings on the East Coast. She was
arrested shortly after returning from her trip and was not
allowed any visits from family or defense counsel during her
incarceration. She was released because of international pressure
and because the government began to open itself to international
communication and cooperation. For doing what she can to help the
Iranian government treat the women, children and men of Iran in a
more respectful and free fashion, Camelia Entekhabi-Fard has been
named Futuresaver of the Week. Click the links below for more
