I attended a protest rally yesterday with the families of three young American hikers jailed in Iran outside the Iranian Mission to the United Nations to demand their release. The rally, attended by about 50 people, was the first of around 30 similar protests organized by friends of the three in cities around the world. The other demonstrations are taking place Saturday, the first anniversary of the hikers’ imprisonment.

Finally can see what it was like for my friends and family while I was in prison. REALLY heavy 2 witness this from this side. We prayed and one of the mothers spoke to my mother on the phone. Very special
