Roxana Saberi, a 31-year-old dual American-Iranian citizen, was arrested in late January and initially accused of working without press credentials. But earlier this month, an Iranian judge leveled a far more serious allegation, charging her with spying for the United States.


She gets 6 years total, but her sentence breaks down thusly:

1 year for actually speaking out about women's issues.
2 years for being incredibly hot and not finding that "hobo" look in a Members Only jacket attractive.
3 years as a negotiating chip/human shield.
