Tehran, Iran (CNN) -- Iranian authorities released American Sarah Shourd on Tuesday from the Iranian prison where she has been held since July 2009, her lawyer told CNN.

Masoud Shafii said he was with Shourd when she was released from Evin Prison and that bail had been posted.

Tehran Prosecutor General Abbas Jafari Dolatabadi told state-run television that Shourd's "representatives" paid her bail -- set at $500,000 -- to an Iranian bank in Muscat, Oman, after which a judge ordered her release Tuesday.
