Son and Brother of Americans Held in Iran: They Have Been Unjustly Detained

‘This really is a humanitarian issue and a desperate one’

EXCERPT:

NAMAZI: “Well, they have been unjustly detained for the past two years on -- on -- on -- unsubstantiated charges. The United Nations body as well as the secretary general have found the detentions unlawful and they've called for the release. Obviously the U.S. administration and -- and President Trump has been engaged, but this is a situation that if it’s not resolved and it's not resolved rapidly will be facing a horrible situation that will not help either country. I am horrified. I am horrified as a son and -- and a brother on the nightmare that we are facing. Honestly, I -- I had no idea a heart could break so many times over and over and over again. But -- but we need to get action. We need expeditiously to resolve this situation, and this really is a humanitarian issue and a -- and a desperate one.”
