Los Angeles resident Mohamad Khordadian, an Iranian-American male dancer recognized
in both countries, seen here in costume in an undated handout photo, was arrested
during his first visit to Iran in two decades and ordered in July to remain in Iran
for 10 years as punishment for corrupting the nation's youth. In the 23 years since
Iranian exiles fled an Islamic revolution and made Los Angeles their capital in the
West, many have braved interrogations and detentions in order to visit the loved
ones they left behind. (AP Photo/Javanan International Weekly Magazine)
