| [RFE/RL] A reporter for the Washington Post held in Iran for a year will be back in court on August 10 in what could be the last hearing of his trial on espionage charges. Jason Rezaian has been held for over a year in Tehran's Evin prison on charges that include espionage and distributing anti-Iranian propaganda. "The sham trial of Jason Rezaian, The Washington Post’s correspondent in Tehran, may now finally be nearing its end," the newspaper's executive editor, Martin Baron, said in a statement. He said Rezaian's attorney had been told that the session would be "the final hearing before a verdict is reached." |
