PARIS, FRANCE.- Manager of the Silk Road gallery from Tehran, Anahita Ghabaian-Ettehadieh poses for photographer in front of "Terrorist" by Khosrow Hassanzadeh at her gallery's booth, 10 November 2004, a day prior the opening of the Paris Photo exhibit. Iran has blocked four local photographers from exhibiting some of their work in Paris after certain pictures were deemed to be "against Islamic values and mocking the image of Iranian women. Sources close to the dispute said Tehran's state-run Museum of Contemporary Art had been due to support the photographers by paying for the packing and shipping of their work so it can appear at the Paris Photo exhibition at the Carrousel du Louvre from November 11-14. Ghabaian-Ettehadieh presents there the work of Shadi Ghadirian, one of the four photographers. Others are Ramin Haerizadeh, Yalda Moayeri Amiri and Arash Hanai.
