Roxana Saberi, a 31-year-old dual American-Iranian citizen, was tried on charges of spying for the US in Iran Monday 13 April. Saberi has lived and worked in Iran for the past six years as a freelance journalist for National Public Radio (NPR), BBC, and Fox News. Saberi was initially arrested for allegedly working without press credentials in January. The US is pushing for her release and a verdict will be reached within the next two to three weeks.
