What a relief to hear that Iason Athanasiadis is in Dubai, confirmedly free! We are anxious to hear what happened from Iason himself. We know that Roxana Saberi, another colleague who was held in Iran, endured much during her detention, physically and psychologically. Chilling to note that many other journalists, all Iranian, are still being held. Our thoughts are with them.
