Saberi is a former North Dakota beauty queen
Conservative blogger, Michelle Malkin, reports on something that both sides of the political aisle should be able to agree about:
U.S. journalist Roxana Saberi turns 32 today in an Iranian prison. After an hour-long trial, she was sentenced to eight years behind bars for “espionage.” She was initially told she was arrested for buying bootleg wine, and then because she was working as a journalist without a license. She’s now on day five of a hunger strike. Today, one of her defense lawyers was denied access to her.
This story is shocking and tragic — provided you feel strongly about the kind of personal liberty that we enjoy here in the U.S.
