Washington Post reporter’s trial in Iran will be closed to the public.

Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian will go on trial Tuesday on espionage charges in a Tehran courtroom that will be closed to the public, including his family. Martin Baron, executive editor of The Post, said in a statement released Monday that both Rezaian’s mother and his wife, a journalist who also faces related charges and will be tried separately, have been barred from attending. The Post tried to obtain a visa for an editor to be in Iran during Rezaian’s trial, but its inquiries were not answered, Baron said. http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/washington-post-reporter-jason-rezaians-trial-closed-to-the-public/2015/05/25/33514a79-b4ad-417b-905d-f8544defbd90_story.html
