Neda's Fiancé in Evin Prison

In perhaps one of the worst stories I have come across, the famous martyr Neda's Fiancé Caspian Makan is in Evin prison for blaming her death on the regime. This regime has already taken away this man's love and they want to destroy his life even further. It is clear that this regime has nothing to do with Islam and is merely a brutal dictatorship:

Caspian Makan, the fiancé of Neda Agha Soltan, a young woman killed in the recent protests in Iran, has been held in detention since 26 June, after he made a statement linking her murder to the pro-government Basij militia. Currently held in Evin Prison in Tehran, Caspian Makan is reported to have told his family that if he signs a “confession” saying that the People’s Mojahedeen Organization of Iran (PMOI-[MKO]), a political body banned in Iran since 1981, killed her, then he may be released. Amnesty International said it fears he may be forced to sign such a “confession” under torture or other ill-treatment, given the pattern of human rights violations in Iran following the election. The organization said that he may be a prisoner of conscience, held for peacefully exercising his right to freedom of expression.
