[edit] Biography

How come there is no biography of this person? There is no information here. It goes from saying he is an activist (what is his history as an activist?) and then suddenly he is in the US meeting with important officials. We should know more about this man and why he is important enough to meet with high-level American officials. Khodavand 00:09, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] vandalisms

It is very interesting to see how many times this pages have been vandalized by anonymous users. All of them are trying to delete the criticism by Nasser Zarafshan and promote Fakhravar! Sina Kardar 15:57, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Iranian-American?

What exactly makes him an Iranian-American? He left the country too recently to be called an American ... and his english is not very good either!Shervink 16:42, 1 March 2007 (UTC)shervink

[edit] Nasser Zarafshan

I have removed the following from the article to here:

Nasser Zarafshan after being released from the Evin prison, has criticized Amir Abbas Fakhravar, saying "He has been working for the police [of the Islamic Republic]" and that "In prison, everybody knows that."^[1]

I think it may be better to move it back when there is a "criticisms" section, at the moment it seems a bit random. --Rayis 16:53, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

i think there is a need to mention Zarafshian Story about him since is a source of information...unless there are some points which are needed to be hidden for hi " democratic activism" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.104.175.250 (talk) 05:21, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] democracy activist?

somebody who meets with bush,cheney and perle and let them use himself, cannot be a democracy activist. the current iranian regime is undoubtly a dictatorship and having been imprisoned in evin must be a terrible experience. but you cant cure pest with malaria ore vice versa. the neocons dont care for the iranian people, they dont want to improve or assert anything there except their strategical interest. fakhravar is as much an iranian democracy activist as the nicaraguan "contra"-leaders were for nicaragua. i have deleted the category. --Severino 18:02, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry but that's your point of view. This is a political activist who advocates democracy. Neocons may not be your or my ideal political party but anyone who shakes hands with them does not automatically become anti-democratic. --Rayis 18:10, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

That change makes no visible difference on the page; I'm not sure that it's necessary right now. Once the page is unprotected of course you can change it if desired and there is consensus. — Carl (CBM · talk) 17:07, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Infobox Biography is soon to be depreciated and so it is being cleaned out. :: maelgwn - talk 00:23, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Done. Cheers. --MZMcBride 03:57, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
