Teheran, 13 May-(ANA)-A lawyer for US-Iranian journalist Roxana Saberi says she was convicted of spying for the US partly because she had obtained a classified document.
Her lawyer said she had access to a confidential Iranian report on the US war in Iraq - but had not used it.
The lawyer, Saleh Nikbakht, said the report had been prepared by a research centre of the Iranian presidency.
Ms Saberi was freed on appeal on Monday, after four months in prison in the Iranian capital, Tehran.
She was originally sentenced to eight years but her term was cut on appeal to two years suspended.
