  • They got the wrong U of T philosopher

    Iranian officials have confirmed they've arrested former University of Toronto professor Ramin Jahanbegloo.

    The philosopher and writer has been in a jail in Tehran since last week.

    An Iranian judiciary official says charges won't be announced until after he has been interrogated.

    Jahanbegloo has criticized the country's leadership in recent weeks and challenged Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's controversial comments about the Holocaust.

    Jahanbegloo holds dual Iran and Canadian citizenship.

    He was a professor at U of T from 1997 to 2001.


    So close, and yet so far.

                  Has our resident U of T philosopher ever criticized the Iranian government?
