Jason Rezaian not sentenced in Iran yet, lawyer says
The lawyer for Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian, who was tried for espionage in a Revolutionary Court in Iran, says an Iranian announcement Sunday that two people have been sentenced to 10 years for spying for the US and Israel “has nothing to do with the case of my client.”

Attorney Leila Ahsan says the court has yet to issue its verdict on Rezaian.
Rezaian was arrested in July 2014, and reportedly faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted. His case has been widely criticized by rights groups.
