The fate of US-born anchor and reporter Marzieh Hashemi, arrested Sunday at the St. Louis Lambert International Airport, remains uncertain, as US officials continue to refuse all comment on her arrest, as well as where or why she is being held.
Hashemi, who works for Iran’s PressTV, was in St. Louis filming a Black Lives Matter documentary. After her arrest at the airport, she was reportedly handed off to the FBI in Washington D.C. That’s where things get really uncertain.
The FBI is declining all comment on Hashemi.The Department of Justice didn’t even get around to a “no comment,” as their entire press office appears to be closed because of the government shutdown.
Her family isn’t any more clear on this than the rest of us. Her children report receiving subpoenas for a grand jury, presumably related, but have broadly been unable to contact their mother. They are struggling to get a lawyer for her case, because officials can’t even confirm that she’s being charged with anything, and despite being in custody since Sunday, she has yet to see the inside of a courtroom.
Legal experts are questioning the legality of her detention, though it is difficult to conclusively say in what way it is illegal, since officials haven’t presented even a nominal justification for what they’ve done.
Presstv is reporting this morning that she is due in court today.

Lets hope this nonsense ends today with nobody hurt.
Her arrest and detention without charges and being held incommunicado for days is a blatant violation of th US constitution and, therefore, an Act of Treason. All of those government agents and emoloyees involved, including those participating in her transportation and detention should immediately be tried and summarily executed for their crimes against the people. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/70633a96993f6bf75d053b37f25c03aa41cc21283eb621d5203ac0e21f43db34.jpg
“Her arrest and detention without charges and being held incommunicado for days is a blatant violation of th US constitution and, therefore, an Act of Treason.”
That’s like saying “going 57 in a 55 is a blatant violation of the traffic code of Peoria and, therefore, an act of manslaughter.”
Not every bad thing is treason. The very document you’re citing violations of specifically defines treason.
What Deep State agency do you work for?
Yeah dude, lighten up. You are nearly as bad as Trump.. It’s just some tit for rat. Seemingly a Trump specialty…..
Another sad result of the tiny bet deep state lackies fomenting strife with Iran. Not to mention hyper Iran hawk Bolton doing what he is able to heat up all things Iran. It is an unfortunate occurrence, but it”s no iceberg & probably one minor provocation of many the Trump ship of fools have in store. Still, all in all way less scarry than the HRC DESTROYER of countries and people.
