US-Iranian Citizen Detained
Dena Karari, a US-Iranian citizen, has been detained and charged with espionage
A US-Iranian citizen, Dena Karari, has been detained and charged with espionage, according to a statement released by human rights lawyer Jared Genser, who identified Karari as his client, as reported in the Early Edition: July 16, 2026 on the Just Security website. Karari, who runs a nonprofit, is the latest example of concerns surrounding surveillance and privacy, which have been raising global privacy concerns in recent months. The detention of Karari has sparked concerns about the use of warrantless surveillance, which lawmakers have been pushing to ban. The National Security Agency, which leads the US government in cryptology and cybersecurity, as outlined on the nsa.gov website, has not commented on the case, but the Justice Department, which announced the charges, can be found at justice.gov.
