Roxana Saberi, a 32-year-old dual Iranian-American citizen, met her parents outside Evin prison Monday evening after the court cut her eight-year prison sentence on charges of spying for the U.S to a two-year suspended sentence.  ”She was reunited with her father and mother. They left for their house,” her lawyer Saleh Nikbakht told The Associated Press. He said Saberi was free to leave Iran immediately.

On Sunday, a court heard an appeal of Saberi’s conviction and sentence and her lawyers emerged saying they were able to defend her and were optimistic her sentence would be reduced.

The United States, several European countries and human rights groups had been advocating for Saberi’s release.
