BBC News - Iran 'jails US hikers for eight years for spying': Two US hikers accused of spying and illegally entering Iran have been jailed for eight years by a court in Tehran, reports say.
Iranian state TV's website said Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal each received three years for illegally entering Iran and five years for spying.
The two men deny the charges, saying they unknowingly crossed into the country while hiking in July 2009.
Fellow hiker Sarah Shourd was freed on $500,000 (£314,386) bail last year.
