Iranian scientist detained in US on the way home
Iran's foreign minister says the Iranian scientist
imprisoned in the US is now on his way back home.
Sirous Asgari had been pleading for weeks to be released
from an immigration centre, after contracting COVID-19.
He has been in custody since 2017, while on trial for
charges of fraud and selling state secrets.
Asgari was acquitted last month, but was transferred into
immigration custody over an expired US visa.
