Jailed Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian has been convicted in Iran, according to the country's judiciary and his newspaper.
Rezaian, a dual American-Iranian citizen, was detained for more than 445 days — longer than the 1979 Iran hostage crisis. His family and the newspaper insist the espionage and other charges he faced were bogus.
Iran's judiciary said Sunday that a "ruling" had been reached in the trial. It gave no details on the contents of the ruling, noting that it could still be appealed — indicating a conviction had been reached.
