Iran released journalist Yaganeh Salehi on bail last week while her husband, The Washington Post’s Tehran correspondent Jason Rezaian, remains in custody, the Post reported Monday.

Salehi and Rezaian were detained in July along with two other American photojournalists. The two photojournalists were released on bail in August.

“We are thankful Yeganeh has been released on bail,” Salehi’s family said in a statement, as quoted by the Post. “We remain confident that Jason has committed no crime. We pray that the Iranian government will conclude that Jason should be released as well.”
