Iranian plot to abduct U.S.-based journalist also targeted Canadians
Masih Alinejad, 37, a Britain-based Iranian journalist, poses for a portrait in London October 8, 2013. Alinejad, a former reporter in Iran, left the country a week before the 2009 elections to study abroad and stayed outside after the unrest and crackdown on reformist press. During the protests, she interviewed families of protesters killed by security forces, and her work in the last four years has focused on interviewing families of political prisoners. She says she will not return, even though she misses her family a great deal, because she would not be able to continue her work. Iranians who want to go back home have a tough decision to make: return and face limits on their work and movement and possible outstanding criminal charges, or remain in isolation far from their homes and families.
