Tehran / Washington (HRNW) — U.S. President Donald Trump said Iran has permitted an American woman to leave the country. Trump praised the gesture on social media, saying the woman had been wrongly detained during the Biden administration in 2024.
Human-rights lawyer Jared Jenser identified the released U.S. national as Dina Karari and said she had been prevented from leaving Iran since December 2024. There has been no official Iranian or judicial confirmation of the details so far.
Reactions and formal statements are developing in Washington, while international and human‑rights groups are seeking independent verification and further information about the circumstances of the release.
Human rights angle
HRNW stresses that cases of foreign national detention and release should be subject to independent, transparent scrutiny consistent with international human‑rights standards. Individuals detained without due process require access to legal support and remedies, and any state‑level releases or transfers should respect human‑rights safeguards.
