Iran lawyer for 2 jailed Americans back in court
The lawyer for two Americans jailed in Iran says he is waiting for a second, key signature on bail arrangements for a possible release of his clients, convicted of spying. Masoud Shafiei says he is back in court on Sunday, trying to complete the paperwork on the $1 million bail deal for Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal.
Next Iranian Move’ Awaited On Jailed Americans
Release Shane Bauer and Joshua Fattal
The American hikers Shane Bauer and Joshua Fattal have spent 755 days in Iran s brutal Evin prison. They never should have been arrested, much less held for so long. With the Muslim world celebrating the holy month of Ramadan, Iranian officials should show compassion, and true respect for justice, and let them return home.
Time for Iran to show mercy and free two U.S. hikers
TWO YEARS AGO, American hikers Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal, both 29, were arrested by Iranian officials along the Iraqi border. They have been jailed ever since in Iran s notorious Evin Prison. Bauer s fiancee, Sarah Shourd, who had accompanied them and was also arrested, was released on bail more than a year later. According to lawyers for the still-detained men, a verdict in their trial could come within a week. It is time for Iran to let them go.
