Iran sentences an Iranian-American journalist to 10 years in prison
Reza Valizadeh to 10 years on prison after finding him guilty of collaborating with a hostile government, his lawyer said Saturday.
Reza Valizadeh is a former journalist for the U.S.-government-funded Voice of America's Farsi language service and also has worked for Radio Farda, an outlet under Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty that is overseen by the U.S. Agency for Global Media.
Mohammad Hossein Aghasi, the lawyer of Valizadeh, told The Associated Press that the Tehran Revolutionary Court issued a first-instance verdict for his client on a charge of «collaborating with the hostile U.S. government.»
Aghasi said that the verdict can be appealed within 20 days since it was delivered to them a week ago. He added that he hasn't been able to meet with Valizadeh since the verdict was issued.
In August, Valizadeh apparently posted two messages suggesting he had returned to Iran despite Radio Farda being viewed by Iran's theocracy as a hostile outlet.
