Iranian-born singer and performer Andy Madadian, posing in his Los Angeles home,
Friday, July 19, 2002, said he has no interest in returning to Iran, where he is
sure he would face criminal charges for performing contemporary music and dancing
with women. 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/Krista Niles)
