Perhaps clarifying that odd report in a Syrian newspaper about Dorothy Parvaz having left Syria, it now seems she's being held in Tehran.

Her employer, Al Jazeera, says:

Parvaz, who holds Iranian, American and Canadian citizenship, has been missing since she arrived at Damascus airport on April 29 to cover protests in Syria.

Syrian officials had previously told Al Jazeera the 39-year-old was being held in the Syrian capital and would be released.

"We have now received information that she is being held in Tehran," an Al Jazeera spokesman said in a statement on Wednesday.

"We are calling for information from the Iranian authorities, access to Dorothy, and for her immediate release. We have had no contact with Dorothy since she left Doha on April 29 and we are deeply concerned for her welfare."

The reaction to all of this on the Free Dorothy Parvaz page: "Not good news."
