Lawyer: Iran jails U.S. journalist for spying – Iran- msnbc.com.
Roxana Saberi, a 31-year-old dual American-Iranian citizen, was arrested in late January and initially accused of working without press credentials. But earlier this month, an Iranian judge leveled a far more serious allegation, charging her with spying for the United States.
Roxana Saberi is a dual citizen of the USA and Iran and was working as a journalist in Iran. She’s been convicted of spying in a closed door trial in Iran and was sentenced to 8 years in prison.
