So what. That happens frequently.

No subpoena? Just straight kidnapped!

I have to reserve judgment until more facts come to light.

louisa_faux For posterity: Prominent people are being snatched across the globe

Unamerican. How can she defend herself if she does not know why she is being held? Calling her a material witness is just a way to circumvent the law.

Oliver Darcy CNN & the 2 reporter's from Buzzfeed are 10 times more fake news than even the WP or NYT or MSNBC & should have been defrocked for taking part in bias leftist censorship & hate on opposition agenda they are & have been up to alot of bad things not only fake stories ,

American-born, Iranian journalist held as ‘material witness,’ court documents showU.S. government acknowledges it secretly arrested an Iranian journalist earlier this week, demanding she testify to a federal grand jury as part of a federal probe that still remains a mystery. US regime is becoming like Iranian regime. Or is it the other way around? 🤔 I'm really surprised the Democrats didn't use her as a candidate for an upcoming election somewhere that's who they're looking for to put in their party Uds como siempre no cambian desinforman ese es su trabajo, si esta detenida seguro que no es una buena baby.

American anchor for Iranian TV is arrested on visit to USNEW ORLEANS (AP) — A prominent American anchorwoman on Iranian state television has been arrested by the FBI during a visit to the U.S., the broadcaster reported Wednesday, and her son said she was being held in a prison, apparently as a material witness. Marzieh Hashemi, who worked for the network's English-language service, was detained in St. Louis, where she had filmed a Black Lives Matter documentary after visiting relatives in the New Orleans area. She was then taken to Washington, according to her elder son, Hossein Hashemi. And in your list of westerners held by Iran, please don’t forget FreeNazanin Interesting article. If this happened anywhere else, the press would be outraged. Let's see. Journalist. Woman. Detained without being charged. Aren't those the types of things you see happening in dictator regimes? But, because it's the FBI, it's o.k.? Makes no sense to me..... Thank you for this information!

Feds confirm jailed Iranian TV anchor not charged with crimeWASHINGTON (AP) — Federal officials confirmed Friday that a prominent American-born anchorwoman on Iranian state television was jailed in the U.S. as a material witness and has not been charged with any crime, according to court papers. Marzieh Hashemi has appeared twice before a U.S. district judge in Washington and has been appointed an attorney. U.S. government officials expect her to be released immediately after her testimony before a grand jury. The order to unseal some parts of her case came days after she was first detained. It did not include details on the criminal case in which she was named a witness. Her son Hossein Hashemi did not comment on details of the case outside court on Friday. Maybe I'm stupid, but why would a 'material witness' need to be put in jail? Is this some sort of statute or standard operating procedure? Is that another way of saying she’s being protected?
