               State Media Reports US Journalist Indicted in Iran

   by VOA News

   Iranian state media says a journalist for The Washington Post detained
   since July has been indicted.

   Citing a prosecutor, official news agency IRNA reports Jason Rezaian
   will stand trial in Iran's Revolutionary Court.

   The charges against the newspaper's Tehran bureau chief, who holds dual
   U.S.-Iranian citizenship, have not been made public.

   While in Geneva for talks with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry,
   Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif told reporters earlier Wednesday
   that the Iranian judiciary, not the government, would resolve Rezaian's
   case.

   The envoy said the government was providing "all of the humanitarian
   assistance that we could," but "this is a judicial matter, so we will
   have to wait for the judiciary to move forward."

   Iran has been holding Rezaian since July.
