| [An Nahar] The daughter of Iran's former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani was released Tuesday after serving a six-month sentence on charges of propaganda against the regime, her lawyer told the ISNA news agency. Lawyer Sohrab Soleimani said Faezeh Hashemi, who was arrested in late September and taken to Tehran's notorious Evin prison, was released in the early hours of Tuesday, ISNA reported. Hashemi was among thousands arrested for taking part in protests that erupted after President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was given a second term in a 2009 election amid claims by the opposition that the vote was rigged. |
