On Sunday, President Obama called for the release of a U.S. journalist convicted of espionage in Iran. The hostage, Roxana Saberi, is a 31 year old female who is an Iranian-American who was interested in the in the country where she came from. Obama stated that "his administration will be in touch with the Iranian government." They will be in touch through Swiss intermediaries because the United States and Iran do not have diplomatic relations. The case is going through the court system and the final decision is yet to be determined. Saberi was sentenced to eight years in prison this past Saturday. Authorities say that she confessed to the charges. Saberi says that she is treated well in the prison and that the is fed well. Obama is so concerned with the well being of one person that he is willing to go through all this trouble just for the safety of one person.
