Iran Tells U.S. to Respect Its Courts in Journalist Spy Case
[Reuters-Washington Post] President Obama said on Sunday he was "deeply concerned" for the safety of jailed Iranian-American journalist Roxana Saberi, who was charged with espionage, and urged Tehran to free her, saying he was confident she was not involved in spying. In response, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hassan Qashqavi said Monday: "It is an international norm that one should respect the rulings issued by the court....I'm sure some American officials have also studied law."
