Source:
WLUML Networkers Shadi Sadr was released from Evin Prison on Tuesday 28 July, a little after 11 a.m.
She returned home to her family earlier than the 6 p.m. time the court had said she would be released. Shadi’s family was planning to welcome her upon her arrival when they saw her standing at the door. Apparently, Shadi Sadr had arrived several hours earlier so that her friends and family would not have to gather outside the prison.

Ms. Sadr, who is known for her work campaigning for women's rights, was arrested on July 17 while she was on her way to Friday prayers in Tehran.
She was released on bail of US $50,000. The accusations against Ms Sadr are that she acted against national security by provoking people to act in a disorderly fashion and to disobey police orders.
On Monday, Iran's judiciary spokesman Ali-Reza Jamshidi said that 300 people had been put in jail during protests against alleged fraud in the country's June presidential elections.
