Iran temporarily releases US-UK environmentalist Morad Tahbaz
His daughter Tara Tahbaz described the news of his temporary release as "surreal."
Morad Tahbaz, a UK-born American citizen held in Iran, was released Wednesday on temporary furlough with an ankle bracelet, his daughter confirmed to Al-Monitor.
The environmental activist, 66, is now staying at his in-laws' apartment in Tehran with his wife, Vida Tahbaz, who was previously barred from leaving the country under the terms of her travel ban.
"It feels very surreal," their daughter Tara Tahbaz said of Morad's temporary release.
"It's amazing news, but they're still not home,” she said. “There's still a long way to go to get to that happy ending."
