Clinton 'Deeply Concerned' About American Journalist Roxana Saberi

"We're deeply concerned" "We're following this very closely" "We wish for her speedy release"

WHAT THE FUCK!?!?

Why weren't you deeply concerned in January? We are you now only following this very closely?? (because you don't want to piss off Iran from any talks??!?) SPEEDY RELEASE?!?!

THE WOMAN IS IN FUCKING EVIN PRISON! YOU'RE LUCKY SHE'S STILL ALIVE THOUGH WE DON'T KNOW WHAT SHAPE SHE'S IN. AND YOU WANT TO SEND HER FAMILY A FUCKING HALLMARK CARD?! "WISHING YOU THE SPEEDIEST RELEASE OF YOUR DAUGHTER. YOU'RE IN OUR HEARTS AND THOUGHTS ALWAYS"

Fucking Hillary is useless, as this entire administration.

Clinton 'Deeply Concerned' About American Journalist Roxana Saberi




It doesn’t look like American journalist Roxana Saberi will be heading home any time soon.

The Iranians are officially charging Saberi with espionage and she remains detained in Tehran’s notorious Evin Prison. Saberi was arrested at the end of January after buying a bottle of wine, and Iran says she was illegally gathering information on expired press credentials.

"This accused has been coming and going to certain government circles under the cover of reporter and without a permit," said Sohrab Heydarifard, the judge in the case. "She has perpetrated actions to compile and gather information and documents and transferred them to American intelligence services.

"Tehran’s prosecutor claims Saberi, 31, accepted all the charges against her, but other reports say she hasn’t even seen them. The exact charges should be announced Saturday, and she could go on trial in Iran’s Revolutionary Court as early as next week. All this worries not only Saberi’s family, who say they’re staying in Iran until she’s free, but also Hillary Clinton. The secretary of state — who also this week said it "makes sense" to start negotiations with Iran on its nuclear capabilities — called on Tehran once again to release the freelancer. The Swiss government has been working to get information on Saberi’s case to the U.S.

"We are deeply concerned by the news that we are hearing," Clinton said after a diplomatic meeting in Washington. "I will, as will the rest of the (State) Department, continue to follow this very closely and we wish for her speedy release and return to her family."

She will die in prison.

That's what I think as well.

There is no guarantee she is still alive as we write this. Iran is a nation stuck in a ninth century patriarchy where women and children are chattel to be bartered. Their lives mean little to the mullahs in power. And Clinton is a cynic who will use that to garner sympathy, all the while doing NOTHING.

That thought had occured to me, Ellen. I don't think anyone has really seen or heard from her in months although I am not sure of that.

I have no sympathy for her. That stupid woman should have stayed out of Iran.

I have no sympathy for her.

Well Abu, that is a rather ruthless thing to say, but I have to agree with you on this one, especially when she was holding two passports.

The question is how much was she Irainian and how much was she American.

Is she now an American, because she got herself into a tight spot
