Los Angeles resident Mohamad Khordadian, center in bottom row, an Iranian-American
male dancer recognized in both countries, seen here with male and female members
of his dance troupe 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
