Saeed Malekpour and Mechanical Engineer

mechanical engineer: At 27, the striking, dark-haired mechanical engineer had a university degree, a reliable job at a Tehran oil and gas company, a husband, a devoted family and a lively circle of friends. Days were a mellow round of work, swimming, tennis and hanging out in the city, according to The Star. What awaited Saeed was a six-year ordeal of kidnapping, torture, rigged trials, death sentences, repeals and imprisonment at the hands of Irans ruthless security services. Now aged 39, he is serving a life sentence in Evin Prison on widely decried charges of masterminding an Internet pornography network and, more sweepingly, corrupting the earth and If a woman in Iran can have it all, Maryam Malekpour came close. But all that changed on Oct. 4, 2008, when her brother, Canadian resident Saeed Malekpour, vanished into a dark vortex that would drag Maryam down into its depths and alter her life forever.
