Roxana Saberi is an American journalist for Al Jazeera America and former Miss North Dakota pageant winner who was arrested in Iran on January 31, 2009 and was held in its Evin Prison for 101 days under accusations of espionage. She subsequently wrote a book about the experience. On April 8, 2009, the Iranian government charged Saberi with espionage, which she denied. She was subsequently convicted and sentenced to an eight-year prison term. An appeals court reduced the charge against her from espionage to possessing classified information, a charge which she also denied, and reduced her eight-year prison term to a two-year suspended sentence. She was released on May 11, 2009. [More at Wikipedia]
