The latest development in the ongoing saga of the three U.S. hikers detained in Iran (Shane Bauer, Sarah Shourd, and Josh Fattal) is that their mothers have been granted visas to travel to Evin Prison in Tehran, where they are being held, hopefully to see the release of their children. Nothing is certain and nothing has been promised, but it is still a bit of good news.
For those readers that don’t know, Shane Bauer and I made a film together in Africa called Songs To Enemies And Deserts, and more information about it can be found by clicking above on the tab of that name.
Pictured here are Shane Bauer and Sarah Shourd at the airport in Washington, D.C., shortly before Shane and I boarded a plane for Africa. May we see them free soon.
