Pejman Zare Held Without Charge for 3 Months in Shiraz's Adelabad Prison

It was learned on 10 June 2026 that Mr. Pejman Zare, a Bahá’í resident of Shiraz, has remained in detention in Adelabad Prison for nearly three months without charge.

Judicial and security authorities have so far failed to respond to several requests submitted by Mr. Zare, including requests for a forensic medical examination and temporary release on bail. His family also remains unaware of any charges being brought against him.
Authorities have only informed the family that Mr. Zare is facing what they described as "serious charges," and that for this reason they have refused to grant him release on bail.

Mr. Zare's case is currently under investigation at Branch 14 of the Shiraz Revolutionary Prosecutor's Office. In recent days, however, relatives have been prevented from following up on the case at the branch, further increasing concerns about the judicial process.

Mr. Zare has been denied the right to freely choose his own legal counsel and has only been permitted to select an attorney from the list of lawyers approved by the judiciary under Note to Article 48 of Iran's Code of Criminal Procedure. Under this provision, defendants are restricted to a pre-approved list of attorneys. These lawyers do not provide an independent or effective defense for defendants and operate under the supervision and influence of judicial and security authorities.

Pejman Zare was arrested by Ministry of Intelligence agents at his home in Shiraz on 15 March 2026 and transferred to a security detention facility. After undergoing a period of interrogation accompanied by physical and psychological abuse, he was transferred to Adelabad Prison.

Mr. Zare is the father of an 11-month-old child. Throughout nearly three months of detention, he has been denied in-person visits with his family. Only recently, following the family's distress and the growing agitation of his infant child, was he permitted to meet his relatives in person for the first time.

As of the time of writing, authorities have not disclosed the charges against Mr. Zare or provided any explanation regarding the prolonged continuation of his detention.

I introduced 6yo to Calvin and Hobbes a month or so ago. She seemed exasperated; she wasn’t getting the jokes. I dropped it, thinking she wasn’t quite ready.

Turns out she’s secretly stayed up late every night for weeks reading it. She makes vocabulary lists for it. She cites Calvin’s altercations with Moe and Susie for moral guidance. She asked her teachers for homework so she could try resenting homework (which didn’t work, she found the homework fun). She is treating one of her stuffed bears as a Hobbes: “She likes to take naps on the floor while I’m away and scare me when I come back home.”

Biochar is sold as a universal soil amendment and a climate solution. Neither claim holds up as a general rule.

On yield, the average response across hundreds of trials is 2.8 percent, and about three in four show no significant effect. It works on acidic tropical soils, sandy soils that lose nutrients, and tree crops that produce their own biomass, where gains reach 30 to 75 percent. Most fields fall outside that narrow set.

On carbon, biochar is stable and stays in the soil for centuries. It removes carbon from the atmosphere only when the material is waste that would otherwise rot and release CO2, and when production recovers heat to offset fossil fuel use. The cost per ton is high, so for most farms carbon alone does not justify it.

The idea comes from terra preta, the Amazonian dark earths, built over centuries by combining charcoal with bone, manure, and organic waste. The strongest modern uses follow that model: biochar as one part of a broader program, applied where it fits the soil.

we need 2 de-anthropomorphize "AI"

it's an auto refined algorithm, using extremely high level matrices to identify patterns...

it cannot "hallucinate" ... it just outputs likely characters... not based on fact.. based on probability

Actor @rainnwilson, a member of the Baha’i faith, joined bipartisan lawmakers on Capitol Hill to advocate for religious freedom ahead of America’s 250th anniversary. “It is an opportunity to ask profound questions,” Wilson noted.

« How can we leave behind tendencies that divide us and replace them with a widening circle of concern? » Wilson asked. « We need to be able to speak and think in terms of spiritual and moral dimensions of individual and collective life. »

Congressman @RepGusBilirakis, co-chair of the Congressional International Religious Freedom Caucus, said, “Religious freedom is not simply an American value, it is a universal human right, and I truly believe that.”

“Every person is endowed with inherent dignity and deserves the freedom to live according to their conscience.”

“We’re going to have universal high income.
We’ll basically just issue money to people."

"AI and robots are going to make so much stuff and provide so many services that they’ll run out of things to do for humans."

"Money will stop being relevant at some point in the future."

"AI won’t use human currency. It will care about power and mass: wattage and tonnage.”

ME:
“So just as you’re becoming a multi-trillionaire, money starts to have less value?”

ELON:
“Yeah, pretty much.”
