Iran frees embassy staff
Iran released local British embassy employee Hossein Rassam on bail on Sunday, his lawyer said, three weeks after he was detained on charges of inciting unrest after the country's disputed presidential election.
The bail for Rassam, chief analyst at the British embassy in Teheran, was set at almost $100,000, lawyer Abdolsamad Khorramshahi said.
