5 US prisoners leave Iran in prisoner swap

January 18, 2016

Three Iranian-American prisoners freed by Iran have arrived in Germany, Reuters quoted an unnamed US State Department official as saying. “We can confirm that the US citizens who departed Iran this morning after being released from detention have arrived in Germany,” he said. Iran released five prisoners on Saturday, including Jason Rezaian, a Washington Post reporter who was arrested in Tehran more than a year ago. In return, the US freed or dropped charges against seven Iranian nationals.
