An Iranian citizen who holds permanent residency in the United States has been released from prison in Iran and has returned to the US, a rights group said Tuesday.
"Shahab Dalili, an Iranian citizen and US permanent resident who had been imprisoned in Evin Prison, was released after serving 10 years in prison. Following his release, he returned to the United States," the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) said, in a statement.
It said the man, who was sentenced for allegedly "cooperating with a hostile government", travelled from Iran to the Armenian capital Yerevan before returning to Washington "where he is now safe and reunited with his family", without specifying the date of his return.
