Press TV anchor Marzieh Hashemi has called for all the people around the world to continue\u00a0their protest against the US legal system. <\/strong><\/p>\n

“Just as America is aware of the harassment of the Black community by the police, America needs to start talking about the harassment of the Muslim community\u00a0by the FBI,” her family said in a statement issued\u00a0on Wednesday after her release without charge from prison in Washington, DC.<\/p>\n
