Graduate student Esha Momeni was arrested last month in Iran and jailed after an alleged traffic violation.
Esha Momeni, 28, had been working on a project on the women's movement in Iran when she was arrested October 15 for an alleged traffic violation, according to California State University-Northridge and Change For Equality, an Iranian women's movement.
She had been held in solitary confinement in Tehran's notorious Evin Prison, Change For Equality said.
"We're really happy she's been released on bail," Elise Auerbach of Amnesty International said Tuesday. She said she learned of Momeni's release Monday through Amnesty's researchers in London, England, and from Momeni's family and friends."
