(NEWSER) - An al-Jazeera journalist has safely landed in Qatar, having been released by Iranian officials after being detained in Damascus last month. Al-Jazeera confirms that Dorothy Parvaz is "safe and well and back with us in Doha. She has been in contact with her family, and we are with her now to find out more about her ordeal over the last 19 days." Parvaz's whereabouts were unknown until last week, when Syrian officials disclosed that she had been sent to Iran because, they said, she had entered Syria using an expired Iranian passport, reports the New York Times .
