Today the American journalist who has been jailed, on charges of spying for the US, for four months in Iran was freed – an appeals court suspended her eight-year prison sentence. Her parents had flown from the US a few weeks ago seeking their daughter’s freedom. Here they are, looking delighted with her imminent release.
“I’m very happy that she is free. Roxana is in good condition,” Saberi’s Iranian-born father Reza Saberi said after she was released. We had expected her release but not so soon. She will be preparing to leave (Iran) tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.”
