Current Event 2

An appeals court on Sunday released reporter Roxana Saberi for charges of being a suspected spy for the united states. After being stationed in Iran to gather information, she was arrested under the suspicion of leaking privileged information. She was sentenced to eight years in prison, and had served out 3 months of her sentence before being able to appear before the appeals court. Originally arrested for buying wine(which is illegal in Iran) she was then charged with espionage. This case has earned her world-wide attention, and sheds light on the falsly accused reporter's dire situation. Hopefully she will soon be released and allowed to come back to her home in the United States.
