Journalist Roxana Saberi Released from Iranian Jail
The Iranian American journalist Roxana Saberi was released from an
Iranian jail Monday and has been reunited with her family. Her father
Reza Saberi spoke to reporters after her release.
Reza Saberi: “Roxana is well and is staying at a relative’s home
tonight. We are preparing to go. The exact date of our departure is
not clear, but we should get ready for our trip to America.”
Roxana Saberi had been held since January.
US Continues to Imprison Reuters Photographer in Iraq
The United States is continuing to imprison at least one journalist
without charge. Ibrahim Jassam, a freelance photographer for Reuters,
has been held in Iraq since September despite objections from the
Iraqi government, Committee to Protect Journalists and Reporters
Without Borders and Reuters. Unlike Saberi’s case, Jassam’s
imprisonment has received little news attention in the United States.
