Washington Post reporter goes on trial again in Iran
A third trial session has been held for The Washington Post’s correspondent in Tehran Jason Rezaian, who is facing espionage and security charges.
The in-camera session was held on Monday at Division 15 of Tehran Revolution Court, the venue which saw the reporter stand his first and second trials in May.
The 39-year-old is facing charges of “espionage, collaboration with hostile governments, gathering classified information and disseminating propaganda against the Islamic Republic,” according to his lawyer Leila Ahsan.
He was arraigned at the first hearing, and the second and third sessions saw two lawyers defending him against the charges.
Rezaian has been The Post’s correspondent in Tehran since 2012.
He was arrested together with his wife Yeganeh Salehi, an Iranian citizen, also a journalist, and a female press photographer. The other two were released on bail in October 2014.
