Professor Detained En Route To Middle East Studies Conference
UPDATE: Nov. 25 — In a LinkedIn post early Tuesday morning, Vahid Abedini said he had been released from custody. “I’m relieved to share that I was released from custody tonight,” the professor wrote. “It was a deeply distressing experience, especially seeing those without the support I had. My sincere thanks to my friends and colleagues at the University of Oklahoma, the Middle East Studies Association, and the wider Iran studies and political science community for helping resolve this.”
