Iran Mohsen Dehnavi Bio-Technology Scientist returned home بازگشت محسن دهنوي دانشمند فناوري زيستي
July 16, 2017 (Persian calendar 1396/4/25)
An Iranian cancer researcher who was arrested after arriving at a US airport says he was kept in detention for 30 hours, along with his family, and was interrogated for 12 hours by US police before being deported.
Mohsen Dehnavi محسن دهنوي was detained at Boston's Logan International Airport along with his wife and three young children upon arrival on Monday. They were sent back to Iran the following day despite holding a J-1 visa for visiting scholars.
In an exclusive interview with Press TV on Thursday, Dehnavi said US officials seized his laptop and cell phone and forced him to reveal his email passwords and other account addresses.
Dehnavi was a visiting scholar invited by Boston Children's Hospital. The researcher thanked Boston’s mayor, ...

July 16, 2017 (Persian calendar 1396/4/25)
An Iranian cancer researcher who was arrested after arriving at a US airport says he was kept in detention for 30 hours, along with his family, and was interrogated for 12 hours by US police before being deported.
Mohsen Dehnavi محسن دهنوي was detained at Boston's Logan International Airport along with his wife and three young children upon arrival on Monday. They were sent back to Iran the following day despite holding a J-1 visa for visiting scholars.
In an exclusive interview with Press TV on Thursday, Dehnavi said US officials seized his laptop and cell phone and forced him to reveal his email passwords and other account addresses.
Dehnavi was a visiting scholar invited by Boston Children's Hospital. The researcher thanked Boston’s mayor, staff of the hospital and Harvard University for their efforts to help end his plight at the airport.
The Boston Children’s Hospital and immigration law specialists said Dehnavi had a valid entry visa.
“Based on what we know, it’s not travel-ban related. It’s probably something much more stupid than that,” said Susan Church, the chair of the New England chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. She did not explain.
An author interviewed by Press TV on Wednesday said administration of US President Donald Trump is “tarnishing” itself by adopting foolish decisions including travel ban for Iranians and five other countries, says an author.
John Steppling added that the deportation of the researcher was “a shameful incident” and it showed the current US administration was happy with waging an economic, military, and political war against Iran, the Middle East and the Arab world in general.
“They (American authorities) are not going to be put off by any ideas of embarrassment or the moral bankruptcy in this, but of course it’s shameful and there’s people that are acutely aware of the clumsiness and the vulgarity of the Trump administration,” Steppling said.
US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said in a statement on Tuesday that Dehnavi “was deemed inadmissible to the US based on information discovered during the CBP inspection for reasons unrelated to the Executive Order" that would ban people from six Muslim-majority countries, including Iran, from entering the US.
On Wednesday, Sorena Sattari, Iran’s vice president for science and technology, said Dehanvi was a nanotechnology PhD graduate, who had made valuable research in the field of cancer treatment. He said Dehnavi was visiting the US for a research opportunity when he was arrested.
Noting that Dehnavi and his family were denied entry to the U.S. "under unconventional pretexts," despite obtaining all legal documents, Sattari added that the incident would not discourage scientific exchanges between Iranian and international researchers.

'Time is the 80's. Does a group of Viet Nam veterans - not unlike the Hell's Angels - really exist hoboing around on the rails and is it as large and powerful as it is portrayed by journalists - or is it a media creation drawing the
heat for every murder on the rails from Arizona to California? And has its leader become a changed man dedicated to his young wife -
or is he an unrepentant racist criminal bent on plotting to murder
a rival who's moving in on his turf? These are the things that come up in John Steppling's dark and controversial play 'Dogmouth'. The fact that he focuses on the depth of war veterans' alienation - the ones who drop out, - not into some utopian world of therapy groups - but rather into some nightmarish arena where murder is reflexive - is what makes this play so riveting. And that he also manages to deftly slip in ruminations on death and dying, the gap between those with money and those without, even survival of the fittest on the streets of Phoenix - is what makes this play dark and riveting - and as John Steppling often proclaims "Art is not your friend'...." This is a nightmare that you don't want to have but one you won't want to miss.
Some comments from three seasoned theater artists and other audience members:
"Thanks so much for the performance of Dogmouth. It was
really very well done. All of the actors were very good. L.B. Williams was very
striking in his role. The choice you made for the character (Dogmouth) was so
bold and interesting and had such weight to it, it was really exciting to see.
And it worked forthe play. It was really terrific work.
I hope the play has a longer life. "
Thanks again. Rose Gregorio, Actress (Tony Nominee)
"Stephan Morrow is mesmerizing in the role of Dogmouth. The most enhancing moment came when he stood behind his young wife and touched her naked arms--at last a moment of insight to explain her unfathomable love for a vile, depraved, paranoid, homicidal reprobate - He held my attention throughout the play. As did the rest of the cast - including L.B. Williams who had a mystery and aloofness that was compelling. "
- Murray Schisgal (Broadway Veteran 'Luv', Academy Award nominee - 'Tootsie')
"Stephan Morrow commands the stage in his incandescent performance as Dogmouth in Steppling's grippingly evocative play. And L.B. Williams as his adversary is wonderful in this as was the whole cast. Morrow's direction fully realizes the beauty and terror of Steppling's End of the Line vision. Some of the best theater I've seen in a long time".
