Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Washington Post journalist Jason Rezaian.
Iran’s Revolutionary Court this week convicted Washington Post correspondent Jason Rezaian of espionage, in a trial and verdict described as a sham by his family, his lawyer and the paper. His sentence has not yet been made public, but his lawyer and the Post say they will appeal immediately. Rezaian, an Iranian-American, has been held in Tehran’s notorious Evin Prison since July 22, 2014. We get the latest updates in the case.
