DUBAI/WASHINGTON - An American-born anchor for Iran's state-run Press TV was freed after 10 days of detention in the United States after testifying as a material witness in an undisclosed federal investigation, a U.S. federal court order said on Thursday.
Marzieh Hashemi testified four times before a federal grand jury beginning on Jan. 18, according to the order, which made a partial disclosure of information in the case. She was released on Tuesday on a judge's orders and made her final grand jury appearance on Wednesday, it said.
Hashemi satisfied "her obligations in this material-witness matter, which is now closed," said the order signed by U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell.
