Guardian: The ordeal of Jason Rezaian, the Washington Post’a Tehran correspondent, takes another turn with news agencies reporting that he will stand trial in secret. He has been in an Iranian jail for 10 months since he was arrested last July along his wife and two other people who have not been named. Rezaian, who has joint Iranian-U.S. citizenship, is accused of being a spy. His newspaper dismisses such allegations as “absurd,” as do international press freedom watchdogs and U.S. president Barack Obama.
