Roxana Saberi

Roxana Saberi is an Iranian/Japanese American journalist, who was arrested in Iran in February 2009 for working as a reporter without press credentials – her credentials were revoked in 2006. On April 8, 2009, the Iranian government charged Saberi with espionage, and she was subsequently sentenced to an eight-year prison term. An appeals court reduced the charge against her from espionage to that of possessing classified information, and reduced her eight-year prison term to a two-year suspended sentence, and she was released on May 11, 2009.
