Reporter detained in Syria free

Ms Parvaz is now safe and well in Doha, al-Jazeera says Related Stories An al-Jazeera journalist detained in Syria on 29 April has been released and is safe and well in the Gulf state of Qatar, her employers say. It is not clear where Dorothy Parvaz was when she was freed. Al-Jazeera said it had information Ms Parvaz had been deported to Iran from Syria. She holds Iranian, Canadian and US passports. Iran said she had tried to enter Syria on an expired Iranian passport. Iran does not recognise dual nationalities. Last week, the Qatar-based network said it had been told by Syrian officials that Ms Parvaz would be released. An Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson also told reporters in Tehran that Ms Parvaz "did not have a work permit". Ramin Mehmanparast said she had attempted "to enter a country on two illegal counts". However, the Iranian authorities were refusing to confirm her whereabouts. Ms Parvaz, 39, joined al-Jazeera's English-language TV service last year. She was attempting to enter Syria to report on the unrest there when she was detained last month. Iran and Syria have close ties. Syria has banned foreign journalists from entering the country during its crackdown on anti-government protests. The US state department has accused Iran of providing support to Syria in President Bashar al-Assad's attempts to deal with widespread protests.
