News at Eleven: One night in 1996,

while attending a gathering at a German diplomat's home, she [Simin Behbahani] was hauled off to jail. "I was slapped around, blindfolded and taken to prison," she recalled. "We were released the next morning. They led us out and dropped us in the middle of the street with our blindfolds still tied."
