Silenced

As a CSUN alumnus, I am following the story of Esha Momeni, a graduate student, who was abducted in Tehran, while interviewing Iranian women for her thesis. Momeni was asking these women about their lives. The Iranian government objected, and has let Momeni know it. Currently, she is being held in solitary confinement.

Only for asking questions.

Momeni has no political motives. Although seemingly naive, she just wants to create an excellent graduate thesis, as most grad students do.

What does the Iranian government hope to gain by Momeni's inprisonment? Are they trying to send a message that they are a country of no questions, no answers, or else? Are they hoping that the U.S. will attempt to break her out of prison by force, so they can launch WWIII?

No, I think they're hoping Momeni go away quietly, like so many other women in Iran.
