Washington Post journalist Jason Rezaian, who has been detained in Iran since July 2014, will be released on Saturday as part of a prisoner swap deal, according to American and Iranian officials.
"We couldn't be happier to hear the news that Jason Rezaian has been released from Evin Prison," Washington Post publisher Frederick Ryan said in a statement. "Once we receive more details and can confirm Jason has safely left Iran, we will have more to share."
