Iranian-American journalist Roxana Saberi will receive a verdict in her Tehran spying trial within weeks, Iranian officials said Tuesday.
A spokesman for Iran's judiciary, Alireza Jamshidi Saberi, told the semiofficial Mehr News Agency that Saberi, who freelanced for National Public Radio and the BBC, had completed her defense against spying charges at a trial Monday.
Her father, Reza Saberi, said that his daughter initially thought she had been detained for buying wine! Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hassan Qashqavi said last month that Saberi had been working in Iran with a revoked press permit. Then Iranian officials said that Saberi has confessed to espionage charges, allegedly admitting her work for the media organizations was a cover. From buying wine to a spy?
I smell vinegar and not wine in this story. Is she a reporter or a spy?---I'll keep you posted as the story develops; however, here is the rule of thumb: NEVER BUY WINE FROM MULLAHS!
What if she was a spy? I don't put it past the CIA sending her to collect info about Iran's nukes.
