A United States reporter jailed in Iran for nearly a year on charges that include espionage is due to go on trial next week, the VOA reported.
State media said on Tuesday the trial of Jason Rezaian, the Washington Post’s bureau chief in Tehran, would begin May 26.
The French news agency quoted his lawyer as saying Rezaian would appear along with his wife and a third person who were all detained together last July in Tehran, and that the trial would begin the same day if there is time.
