Iranian of the Day

Examiner: A San Diego State University graduate student trying to return home from Costa Rica was told by the U.S. government on Tuesday that he was on the "no-fly" list and could not board the plane with friends and family to return home. Kavon Iraniha, 27, an Iranian-American Muslim who was born and raised in San Diego, was “shocked” when he was interviewed by the FBI about his political and religious affiliations and denied to board his flight back home to San Diego.

Iraniha had just received his master's degree in international law from the University for Peace after one year in Costa Rica. He currently holds a bachelors degree in political science from San Diego State University. No clear reason has been stated by the FBI and U.S. government why Iraniha was placed on a no-fly list, said Hanif Mohebi, executive director of the San Diego chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations >>>
