Hikers Held Hostage

Three american tourist hikers accidentally crossed into Iran when on vacation. The Iranian government did not think that this was an accident at all. Shane Bauer, Sarah Shroud and Josh Fattall are the three Americans. They are 27, 31, and 27 years old. They were hiking through Iraq when they accidentally passed into Iran. They were seen by Swiss diplomats who oversee American interests in Iraq. Iranian authorities say that the three are still being questioned by Iranian investigators and their fate lies in the judge's perspective. This means that the three Americans could possibly face jail time. The President of Iran said that he will ask the Judge to look at the case with maximum leniency. The three American's families have released tapes of their family members which testify to the fact that they did just pass over the border by accident.

I think that these three Americans just made a mistake in accidentally taking a trail which brought them into Iran by accident. People should look at this and see a couple of american tourists who made a subconscious mistake. I hope that the three of them get off free of charge and that the videos prove to be enough evidence.
