Iran has freed a prominent human rights lawyer and several other people who were arrested after the 2009 presidential election.
Nasren Setoudeh is among 16 people who have been given amnesty and allowed to go free, Mehr News reported citing information obtained late Wednesday.
Setoudeh was arrested in September 2010 and sentenced to 11 years in prison.
In January 2011, she was barred from practising law after being convicted of spreading propaganda and conspiring to harm state security.
However, an appeals court reduced her sentence to six years and her ban from working as a lawyer to 10 years.
Eight men and seven women were also freed.
