Freelance journalist arrested in Iran to speak Sept. 23
Freelance journalist Roxana Saberi will present "On the Streets of Tehran" at 6:45 p.m. Sept. 23 at the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum.
In January 2009, Saberi was arrested in Iran and the government in Iran charged and sentenced her for espionage.
An appeals court later reduced her eight-year-prison term from espionage to possessing classified information, which she has denied and was given a two-year suspended sentence.
On May 11, 2009, Saberi was released. The Athenaeum is at 385 East 8th St.
