A US journalist has been arrested in Iran. Roxana Saberi, a freelance who has reported for America's National Public Radio, has not been heard from since she called her father on February 10.
Iran's foreign ministry says she was engaged in "illegal" activities because she continued working in the country after the government revoked her press credentials in 2006. But a spokesman refused to say whether she was in prison.
Saberi's father, Reza, said yesterday that in her last call to him Saberi said she had been detained after buying a bottle of wine, which is illegal in Iran.
Saberi, a former Miss North Dakota beauty queen, is 31 and has lived in Iran for six years. (Sources: AP/HuffingtonPost)
