World: Jailed journalist Roxana Saberi to be set free by Iran today
- As I understood it, she is free to leave Iran. They explained me that the two years were conditional and would not be carried out if she would not commit any crimes in the coming five years.
- Attorney Abdolfattah Khorramshai • Regarding news that Roxana Saberi’s sentence was reduced from eight years to a two-year suspended sentence. Saberi’s plight – a young journalist who was arrested for espionage – had garnered significant international attention. She remains banned from working as a reporter in Iran for five years, but there is no word if she’ll return to the U.S. with her parents, who have remained in Iran to bring attention to her case. • source
