Open Society Institute Statement on Release of Haleh Esfandiari [also on Kian Tajbakhsh]

NEW YORK, Aug. 21 (AScribe Newswire) -- We welcome the long-overdue release of Dr. Haleh Esfandiari from Iran’s Evin prison and eagerly expect news that Dr. Kian Tajbakhsh will also be set free. Dr. Tajbakhsh, a distinguished scholar who committed no crime, has now been unjustly imprisoned for more than 100 days. We hope he will soon be reunited with his family and we remain concerned for his well-being.
