Iran Needs To Free Roxanna Saberi!

An Iranian-American journalist has been sentenced to 8 yrs in an Iranian prison.Roxanna Saberi was accused of being a spy,but President Obama has said that, "she is an Iranian American who was interested in the country which her family came from." Since I believe that is the case,I sincerely join the chorus of people that say:
"FREE ROXANNA SABERI"!

Here's more from mediabistro:

"Over the weekend American journalist Roxanna Saberi was sentenced, behind closed doors, to eight years in an Iranian prison. Saberi was rushed to trial last week under charges of espionage (she was initially arrested for working without credentials).

News of the arrest elicited an immediate response from a number of news organizations Saberi had worked for here, including NPR and ABC News (in full after the jump), while the White House initially used "cautious language" when addressing the situation. On Sunday President Obama followed up saying: "She is an American citizen, and I have complete confidence that she was not engaging in any sort of espionage," Obama said. "She is an Iranian American who was interested in the country which her family came from. And it is appropriate for her to be treated as such and to be released."

Also on Sunday Iranian president Ahmadinejad publicly stated that Sabieri should be allowed to fully defend herself on appeal.
