AI Summary:
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s office issued a statement on Wednesday announcing Sala’s release had been secured more than three weeks after she was arrested on December 19. Tehran has denied speculation that her arrest was linked to Rome’s detainment of an Iranian businessman that the United States accuses of involvement in an attack on its military. Roxana Saberi was detained by Iran in 2009 for almost 100 days before being released. Tehran has flatly denied any link between the two cases.
