Iran frees Saberi

Professor M Zahidul Haque, Chairman, Department of Agricultural Extension & Information System Sher-
It is heartening to learn that Iran through its judicial process has freed the US Journalist Roxana Saberi after an appeals court suspended her eight-year jail sentences on charge of spying. By freeing Saberi, a citizen of both Iran and the United States, Iran has upheld the independence of its judiciary. We sincerely hope that this will help in easing the tension created between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran following arrest of Saberi who was working for the BBC and the US National Public Radio.
