This is fairly old news, but in the event anyone had been hearing about the story only at C@L, I failed to note that last week [the U.S. reporter I’d been posting about](https://www.cato.org/tag/roxana-saberi/) was released from prison in Iran. She has left the country, flying to Austria with her family.

Interesting back story on the circumstances surrounding her arrest [here](http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/05/12/AR2009051203477.html?hpid=sec-world). Whatever the details, it’s good news that she was released.
