May 12, 2009
Iranian-Ameican journalist Roxana Saberi has been released from Evin prison after an Iranian Appeals Court downgraded her spying conviction from its original 8-year term to a lesser, suspended sentence of two years, her lawyer said.
Saberi’s father, Reza, of Fargo, ND, said today in Tehran that he plans to bring his daughter home within the next few days.
Saberi’s lawyer, Abdolsamad Khorramshahi, told the Associated Press that the journalist was now free and “out of jail.”
