'US holds 11 Iranians without proof' http://english.iribnews.ir/NewsBody.aspx?ID=14258

More than 60 Iranian nationals are being held in US prisons, 11 of them on political grounds and without any proof or evidence, an Iranian official says.Hassan Qashqavi, Deputy Foreign Minister for Consular, Parliamentary and Iranian Expatriates' Affairs, made the remark during an interview with IRNA on Saturday. He pointed out that among the Iranian prisoners in the United States were Amir Hossein Ardebili, extradited to the US by Georgia, and Shahrzad Mir-Qolikhan, arrested under false charges. 

A US District Court in Wilmington, Delaware, handed out a five-year term to Ardebili based on the prosecutor's claim that he had "secretly pleaded guilty" to arms smuggling and weapons export charges. Shahrzad was arrested in the US in December 2007 after being forced to return to the United States from a vacation in Cyprus. Her former husband, Mahmoud Seif, had allegedly tried to export night-vision goggles to Iran from Austria. However, she was detained and sentenced to five years in prison by a Florida federal court in the absence of her husband. 

Qashqavi also referred to the case of former Iranian Ambassador to Jordan Nosratollah Tajik. He said that Tajik has been under house arrest in the UK over alleged involvement in certain nuclear deals in violation of US sanctions. He went on to say that the US was pressuring the UK to extradite Tajik to Washington while presenting no evidence on his charges.
