FREE ALL THREE HIKERS: SHANE BAUER & JOSH FATTAL STILL IMPRISONED IN IRANIranian forces detained Shane Bauer, Sarah Shourd and Josh Fattal on July 31, 2009 while they were enjoying a recreational hike in the mountains of Iraqi Kurdistan. There are conflicting news reports about whether they strayed across the poorly marked border by mistake or Iranian forces entered Iraq to arrest them.The three young Americans, all graduates of the University of California at Berkeley, were being held in Evin Prison in Tehran. Until her release, on Day 410 of her detention, Sarah was in solitary confinement and was able to meet for only two 30-minute periods each day with Shane (her fiancé) and Josh, who share a cell. On May 20, their mothers traveled to Iran to visit them but were allowed to stay for only two days. They have been able to telephone their families only once, on March 9, and have been denied access to their lawyer. No charge against them has been presented in a court of law. Although Sarah was released on September 14, 2010, Shane & Josh remain in Evin Prison.
