Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif slammed the arrest of Marzieh Hashemi as "an unacceptable political act that tramples on freedom of speech". Tehran also condemned the "inhuman treatment of her in jail".

Axar.az reports citing Sputnik.

A US court has confirmed that Marzieh Hashemi, an American-born journalist who works for the Iranian state-owned media outlet Press TV, had been arrested in the US city of St. Lous and that she will be released after she testifies before a grand jury.

The court order said that Hashemi, who was born in the United States as Melanie Franklin, had been detained to give a testimony to a jury investigating unspecified "violations of US criminal law".
