An American graduate student held in Iran since 2016 on suspicion of being a spy has been freed in a prisoner swap
An American graduate student, who had been held for three years in Iran on suspicion of being a spy, has been freed and is headed to an American military base in Europe.
Chinese-born Xiyue Wang, a Princeton University PhD student, was conducting research in Tehran when he was arrested there on espionage charges in August 2016. Wang was sent to Iran's notorious Evin Prison and sentenced to 10 years. Iran's Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said Saturday that Wang's release comes as a prisoner swap between the two countries.
