U.S. Sells Out Citizen to Islamic Regime

"The Saberi case is the latest example of how Iranian authorities arbitrarily use spying charges to arrest journalists and tighten the gag on free expression," said Paris-based Reporters Without Borders.


The Americans are not out to defend their citizens as they are attacked, harassed, or imprisoned by Islamic countries.


Iran convicted Roxana Saberi, an Iranian-American journalist, of spying for the United States and sentenced her to eight years in prison.


It was the first time Iran has found an American journalist guilty of espionage - a crime that can carry the death penalty.


The American-Iranian citizen was arrested in late January and initially accused of working without press credentials. But earlier this month, an Iranian judge leveled a far more serious allegation, charging her with spying for the United States.


Americans have been sold out to Islam.
