“Roxana Saberi and her family have been through a lot in the past four months. She was wrongly arrested and imprisoned, falsely accused of being a spy, sentenced to eight years in prison, and finally released after an outpouring of support from people around the world.
“After all of that, it feels good to welcome Roxana home to North Dakota.
“Roxana has shown an incredible amount of courage, and I believe I speak for all North Dakotans when I say we are proud of the determination and resolve that she and her family have shown throughout this experience.”
