the books by Firoozeh Dumas are one of the best ways Iran has to earn the world’s sympathy. They made me want to be Iranian. To imprison her translator is not only cruel, it’s foolish.

Firoozeh’s stories help me see the world in a happier light. I imagine they have done the same for people in Iran. It is so unfair that the man who helped bring these heartwarming stories to so many people is suffering for innocent work.

I hope the US media can help put pressure on the Iranian government to release him and all of the other people being held in prison for no good reason.

It’s heartbreaking to see Mohammad arrested for being such a smart, gentle, humble, and
kind man. We need to do whatever it takes to set him free… This is really unfair!!! Thank you for the wonderful interview!! Mohammad is brilliant and I pray for his freedom ALL the time!!

Thanks for supporting defenseless people in Iran. The sad part is they never say where he is and what he has done,

It seems even translation of a book from English is considered illegal in today’s Iran.
