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.
