US journalist Roxana Saberi has been released from Iranian prison
From FOX News:
An American journalist who was detained in Iran on espionage charges has been released after an Iranian appeals court suspended her prison term, an Iranian judiciary source told Reuters.
Roxana Saberi was released from Tehran’s Evin jail on Monday, according to the report.
Saberi, a 32-year-old dual American-Iranian national who grew up in Fargo, North Dakota, was convicted last month of spying for the U.S. and sentenced to eight years in prison. An appeals court heard her case on Sunday.
Saberi’s sudden release today was likely helped by videos exposing the abuse of journalists and the kangaroo court of Iran that Saberi had been tried in, like this video addresses, as well as possibly using her as a bargaining chip. Don’t really know, but we’re just happy that justice has prevailed:
