Iranian-Canadian photojournalist Zahra Kazemi, arrested in 2003 for taking photos in front of the prison. She died in detention months later of a fractured skull and brain hemorrhage. "We have nothing to hide from the world," prison official Sohrab Soleimani said. "We invited you here to see for yourself how prisoners are treated and what facilities they enjoy," he told reporters.
One of the above statement is NOT true. Any guesses?

Potemkin Prison..... do reporters know ANYTHING about the history of totalitarian regimes creating such little photo ops for the gullible fools who make up most of the media? Even Nazi Germany managed to bring some Int'l Red Cross reps to staged situations to convince them that Jews were well treated in the National Socialist paradise.
