The Iranian Avocado Quest that led to prison
The struggle to free journalist Jason Rezaian from Iran’s most notorious prison.
Jason Rezaian was the Washington Post's bureau chief in Tehran. But a tongue-in-cheek campaign to bring avocados to the country caught the attention of the authorities and landed him in Iran's most notorious prison. Jason wrote a book about his experience called Prisoner: My 544 Days in an Iranian Prison.
