International
Roxana Saberi06 Mar 2009
Journalist Missing in Iran

Roxana Saberi is an American journalist who has disappeared in Iran. She was arrested at the beginning of February for buying a bottle of wine – an illegal act in the strictly Islamic country. She telephoned her father – who had emigrated from Iran - to tell him what had happened, but since then she hasn’t been heard from, and her family don’t know where she is. It’s feared her arrest was simply an excuse to enable the authorities to crack down on journalists in the run up to the country’s elections in June. Jenni is joined by Roxana’s father from America.
