TEHRAN, Iran — Iran released a foreign Newsweek reporter on bail Saturday almost four months after he was arrested following the country’s disputed presidential election, as embattled opposition leaders promised to press on with their campaign against the country’s rulers.
Maziar Bahari, a dual Iranian-Canadian citizen who was released after posting bail of 3 billion rials, or $300,000, is among more than 100 prisoners put on mass trial as part of the government’s attempts to silence opposition protests that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s June 12 re-election was fraudulent.
