This morning, Gregg wrote about Mahmoud Vahidnia, a math whiz and sophomore at Iran's Sharif University of Technology who publicly criticized Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to his face, after Khamenei made a speech at the university on Wednesday.
The story of Vahidnia's audacity was, curiously, first reported on Khamenei's official Web site. Yet concerns lingered over whether Vahidnia, reportedly harassed by "security forces" after his 20-minute critique, had been arrested. The Los Angeles Times' Babylon & Beyond blog gave us news on Monday (which I'm just now seeing) that Vahidnia was not arrested and is doing fine. New video and quotes from Vahidnia, after the jump.
