Saberi was arrested in January 2009 while working for U.S.-based Features Story News and on completing a master’s degree in Iranian studies. She was convicted in a half-hour trial, which resulted in an 8-year prison sentence. Saberi was held in solitary confinement for five months, during which time her ordeal attracted international attention. She was eventually freed on an appeal.
Saberi will speak about her time in Iran and present insight into Iranian society and the events unfolding there today. She will also talk about the inspiration she gained from her fellow political prisoners and the lessons on life and faith that gave her the strength to deal with her mental and physical imprisonment.
