THE GUARDIAN: The Guardian's Tehran correspondent, Robert Tait, has been expelled from Iran without explanation after nearly three years of reporting from the country.
Tait was forced to leave the country after the Iranian authorities declined to renew his visa and residence permit, despite an appeal on his behalf from the Guardian's editor, Alan Rusbridger, to Iran's culture and Islamic guidance ministry, which supervises the activities of all foreign and domestic media. He is now back in the UK, along with his Iranian wife.
The ministry gave no reason for its decision but said the newspaper was free to propose another journalist as its correspondent in Iran. Guardian's Tehran correspondent expelled without explanation >>>
