伊朗裔美国记者罗克萨娜.萨贝里星期一走出德黑兰的一家监狱重获自由。星期天，伊朗上诉法院将她8年的间谍罪名减轻为缓刑两年。美国国务卿希拉里.克林顿说，她对萨贝里获释感到非常欣慰，但是她说，华盛顿会继续过问案件的问题。萨贝里星期一离开了1月下旬以来一直被关押的德黑兰埃文监狱。星期日她的律师为其原来的8年徒刑进行了上诉辩护。
萨贝里的父亲星期一在德黑兰的埃文监狱外等候。他表示希望在未来几天内与他的女儿一起返回美国。32岁的自由撰稿记者萨贝里上个月被判犯有间谍罪。她的家人和美国政府都表示，对她的指控是没有根据的，并且要求释放萨贝里。
U.S. journalist Roxana Saberi walked free from a Tehran prison Monday, one day after her sentence on spy charges was cut to a suspended two-year term. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she was very heartened by Saberi’s release, but said Washington continues to take issue over the case. Saberi left Evin prison Monday, where she had been held since January. Her lawyers had appealed her original eight-year sentence (on Sunday).
Her father, Reza Saberi, was waiting outside the prison. He said he hopes to return to the United States with his daughter in the coming days. The 32-year-old freelance journalist was found guilty last month on charges of espionage. Her family and the U.S. government said the charges against her were baseless and demanded her release.
