Khadjedpour Released From Iranian Jail

from National Public Radio

Iranian businessman Bijan Khadjedpour was one of the people arrested after Iran's disputed presidential election. His name came up last week when Steve Inskeep asked President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad why people were put in jail for opposing the results of the election. Ahmadinejad said no one was put into prison for opposing him and he said he would look into the case. The president's office said the case did get looked into, and Khadjedpour was released on bail Wednesday.
