Photo essay: L.A. protests against detention of Iranians Photos by Ramin Tabib and Dorna Khazeni December 19, 2002 The Iranian BBC Online: US immigration officials in Southern California have detained hundreds of Iranians and other Muslim men who turned up to register under residence laws brought in as part of the anti-terror drive.
