Newsweek magazine has confirmed that Canadian-Iranian reporter Maziar Bahari, Iran correspondent for the magazine, has been released on bail by Iranian authorities. Index on Censorship, Newsweek, Committee to Protect Journalists and Canadian Journalists for Free Expression have campaigned for Bahari’s release since he was taken from his mother’s Tehran home in the aftermath of June’s disputed election.
