US-Iranian journalist Jason Rezaian was working for the
Washington Post in Tehran when he was arrested in July 2014. He
was accused of spying for the CIA, tried and convicted on vague
charges. He was held for 544 days before a deal was done to
release him in 2016. Three years after his release how is he
coping with the effects of his imprisonment? Jason Rezaian is now
banned from Iran for life but what does he think of the Trump
administration's policy toward Iran now that it has labelled
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organisation? He
talks to Shaun Ley.
