The Iranians seem to be really tough regarding certain national matters. As I understand from several news agencies it seems that Roxana has pleaded guilty to the charges brought against her. Seeing that the Iranians have a zero tollerence policy on many matters and public hangings are (if the internet is to be believed) quite commonplace then if found guilty, could she be sentenced to death and if so, she must have known what might happen.
I hope things work out satisfactorily for the Roxana and her family.
