NEW YORK The American hiker Sarah Shourd release from an Iranian prison, told reporters Sunday that doctor in Oman have assured her that she is "physically well." Reading from a prepared statement Shourd expressed thanks to Iranian government and religious leaders, including Ayatollah Ali khamenei and President Mahmuod Ahmadinejad, for release after 410 days. "It is my deepest hope that the world will not let this humanitarian gesture go unrecognized," Sarah said. "I believe this decision is a step in the right direction for all of us." However, she and the mothers of the other two detained Americans, Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal, called for their release. The two men remain in Tehran's Evin Prison. The three Americans were arrested in 2009 after they allegedly strayed across an unmarked border into Iran while hiking in Iraq's Kurdistan region.
The government said they broke the law but they were only hiking. I hope the Iranian's government release them from jail as soon as possible.
