A verdict has been issued in the trial in Iran of Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian on charges including espionage, Iran’s judiciary has said.
Officials did not give details of the judgement, but hinted at a conviction.
A judiciary official said late on Sunday that the verdict could be appealed, suggesting Mr Rezaian had been found guilty.
Jason Rezaian, 39, has been detained in Iran for more than a year. The Post has dismissed the charges as absurd.
Mr Rezaian faces 10 to 20 years in prison.
