Saberi has been accused of spying for the United States, a charge that she has vehemently denied. She had went on a hunger strike in jail recently, but stopped the protest in the last few days, according to the article.
The Twitterverse is trying to decipher the move of the appeal date, with many wishing Saberi well:
