Roxana Saberi mentions "Baha'is" in GMA interview on 5/29/09, part 1

Diane Sawyer interviews Roxana Saberi on "Good Morning America" on 5-29-09 (the video quality is exactly as downloaded from the GMA website):

SABERI: I was in solitary confinement in the beginning, for two weeks, and then I was put with other prisoners.

SAWYER: What kind of other prisoners?

SABERI: They were university students, Baha'is, researchers -- but I have to say that they were some of the strongest and most admirable people that I've ever met, not only in Iran, but in my whole life.

In Iran it is common to accuse someone of being a spy. But no hard proof is ever given

[Beulah502]

An honorable and brave young lady

[vladimiraa]

[lovinnia]

This Iranian government should treat his own people well.. AT LEAST !!

[delight1984]

@IamJacksColon4 damn when was this? tortured for what?

[IamJacksColon4]

Why hasnt the US talked about the Iranian-American that was tortured in Dubai and his billion dollar company stolen from him?

[PeterJDeer]

@SuperFifthwheel - I think this is kind of why as an American I am so strongly against abusive practices, because so many people in the world just do whatever evil thing they want and say "America does bad things too!"

But I tell you, there'd be some outcry and some people voted out of office if we were hanging teenage girls for teaching classes to children.

[highwind8124]

That woman is astoundingly beautiful.
