 * Keep This case is beyond a simple police brutality. It is a unique case of police brutality on campus. Based on the claim of the laywer, the victim was singled out because of being a Middle Eastern decent. This news already has got international coverage, and it's highly likely that it won't be a news blip. Zharf 19:22, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - this is not just "local news", as some may believe, but an important incidence that has captured the attention of many people world-wide.

Page move
I've been bold and simply redirected this page to the Mostafa Tabatabainejad article. The articles are on the exact same incident, and all the information contained in this article is in the other one, plus the other one contains much more information and is far more neutral. Also, there's already a deletion debate going on about the other article, so we don't need a second debate. Exploding Boy 20:57, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
