Iran will free Iranian-American Kian Tajbakhsh soon on bail.
Judge Hassan Haddad told this to newsagency ISNA.
The bail is set to some $100,000.
Reporters also were allowed to visit Tajbahksh.
He said that he had been held in solitary confinement for about 120 days and that his conditions in prison are fine.
He is allowed to wear his own clothes, can watch tv and has weekly visits by his wife.


On the website Associated Press is an 'background'article about forty journalists who were taken on a 4-hour tour in the notorious Evinprison.
During the last years people in this prison were tortured and abused or died.
In this article one can read about inmates who were seen swimming in an open-air pool, cooking meals and studying for university exams.
The reporters were also allowed to talk freely with prisoners.
All this is a harsh contrast to the reports of released prisoners.
An Iran specialist with Amnesty International said she hoped that people don't get the impression that what the Iranian government allowed to see is representative of what is actually going on there.
