interrogation to reveal the passwords to her e-mail and weblog after which, she
was questioned about her contacts within and outside of Iran.
On the morning of 1 June, Nahid
Kalhor had received a phone call telling her to go to the Ministry of

that her family would be arrested if she did not do as he said. Nahid Kalhor
told her brother about the call and he escorted her to the Ministry of

opposition parties outside Iran.
