Iran’s Judiciary detained four Washington Post journalist and photographers including Jason Rezaian and Yeganeh Salehi in Tehran on July 22, 2014. Ejei did not mention the name of the released journalist. He also did not provide further details, since “the case is still in preliminary stages and I could not reveal much about that.”
