    Default Iran sentences Navy vet Michael White to 10 years

    Iranian authorities sentenced U.S. Navy veteran Michael White to 10 years in prison for allegedly insulting Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and disclosing private information by posting a photo of a woman he was visiting on Instagram.

    White, 46, a native of San Diego, was arrested last July in Mashhad, Iran during his third visit with the woman. White had been imprisoned at Iran’s Vakilabad Prison, known for its execution of drug traffickers, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.

    Jonathan Franks, a White family spokesman, said the family had been told that White has been beaten and interrogated about his naval service and Iranian officials have refused to let him contact family.

    Not much can be done except arrest an Iranian national in the U.S. and hope for a prisoner exchange. Of course the ACLU would get involved so that wouldn't work either.
    That guy is fucked.

    Probably a Bad Idea to vacation in Iran or North Korea.
