I saw a short clip of that program, exceptional (Shirin & Ebi) performance. I believe that event (political & art) was one of most effective program that I’ve witnessed so far.

Thanks.

Award-Winning Iranian Journalist Hospitalized In Jail

-- An award-winning Iranian journalist and rights activist has been hospitalized in jail in Tehran after returning to prison from sick leave, a press report said on Monday.

"Emadeddin Baghi has once again been taken to Evin prison infirmary," the reformist newspaper Kargozaran said, without giving details about the condition of the anti-death penalty and prisoners' rights campaigner.

Baghi had returned to jail in April after a three-month sick leave to serve out a one-year sentence imposed in 2003 on security charges over a series of articles published 10 years ago.

Lawyer Saleh Nikbakht said Baghi had returned to Tehran's Evin jail despite his illness not being completely cured, adding that physicians hadn't been able to make an accurate diagnosis.

Baghi, 45, was first hospitalized in December 2007 with a nervous condition after being arrested in October on charges of spreading propaganda against Iran's Islamic system and publishing secret documents.

Prisoners in Iran are sometimes allowed to serve parts of their sentences at home if it can be proven that they have serious health problems.
