U. California-Berkeley alumna Sarah Shourd, one of three Americans that have been detained in Iran for more than a year, was freed Tuesday and is on her way out of the country, major media outlets report.

Reports state Shourd was released on $500,000 bail, according to Tehran’s chief prosecutor, Abbas Jafari Dowlatabadi.

“She is free,” said attorney Masoud Shafii, who represents the Americans in Iran. “She is coming out of prison right now.”

According to reports, the bail was paid into an Iranian bank in Muscat, Oman. Dowlatabadi said “representatives” of Shourd paid the bail, but did not specify their identity.

Shourd, held for over a year with fellow campus alumni Josh Fattal and Shourd’s fiance Shane Bauer, was freed from prison “at the order of the case inspector and with the agreement of the Tehran Prosecutor,” according to the Tehran Public and Revolutionary Courts website, reports state.

The three have been detained in Iran since being captured July 31, 2009 while hiking near the Iran-Iraq border. They were accused of trespassing and espionage by Iranian officials, but a June report by The Nation magazine revealed the hikers were actually seized on Iraqi soil.
