Detained American Iranian TV Anchor Marzieh Hashemi to Appear in Court
AP update: Iran’s state-run English-language channel is reporting that its American anchorwoman detained in the U.S. will appear in court in Washington.
Press TV said Marzieh Hashemi’s court appearance is Friday. It did not elaborate.
The newscaster’s son has said his mother was arrested Sunday in St. Louis by the FBI on a material witness warrant. The FBI has declined to comment.
Her detention comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and the U.S. after President Donald Trump withdrew America from the nuclear deal.
