- Comment: Actually, it is easily verifiable. I've put in some links. If it is propaganda, then NPOV it don't delete. As to whether it is notable, I abstain. --Doc (?) 09:07, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete being (supposedly) imprisoned doesn't make one notable. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:10, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. I can't see how this is non-notable. Imprisonment itself doesn't do it (obviously), but he was apparently the focus of some outrage from a segment of the population and has been named a "prisoner of the month" by an organization. Anything comparable in the West would definitely be judged notable. Everyking 12:44, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep: in my view, he is notable for a very simple reason: he was declared prisoner of the month by the International Society for Human Rights. --Bhadani 14:01, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

- Keep. That his notability comes from others using him as an example rather than his own efforts does not make him nn. Chick Bowen 04:37, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep Doc's rewrite. Seems to have notability as a publicised alleged victim of human rights abuses. Capitalistroadster 05:54, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
