Haleh Esfandiari freed on bail from Tehran's prison
Posted by Anita Sharma

I'd like to think that adding your names to the Free Haleh petition resulted in this surprise decision from Tehran to release Haleh. Although the picture shows that the already slim Haleh had lost weight during her three month incarceration in Tehran's Evin Prison, she's said to be doing well. Accused by the Iranian government of conspiring to topple the government, the dual national was released on $333,000 bail to the home of her 94 year-old mother in Tehran. We're not sure yet what "free on bail" means. Hopefully it means the charges are dropped and she can return to the States and continue her work at the Woodrow Wilson Center.
