Washington Post – The Washington Post and other supporters of journalist Jason Rezaian on Wednesday amplified demands for his release from Iranian custody, a day before the reporter marks 500 days since his arrest and subsequent closed-door trial on charges that included espionage.
The new pressures, including updated filings by The Post with a UN panel, seek to boost international leverage on Iran after the reported conviction and sentencing of Rezaian, The Post’s correspondent in Tehran.
