Journalist to be freed from Tehran prison
TEHRAN, May 11 (UPI) -- Iranian officials said they plan to release imprisoned U.S. fr
ee-lance journalist Roxana Saberi Monday, her father said.
A three-judge panel met for five hours Sunday to consider Saberi's appeal of her eight-year prison sentence for an espionage conviction.
Reza Saberi, the journalist's father, told CNN he was waiting outside Tehran's Evin prison for his daughter's release.
Saberi was sentenced to eight years in prison in April for espionage during a one-day, closed-door trial. She engaged in a two-week hunger strike to protest her imprisonment, ending it last Monday after her parents pleaded with her to resume eating.
