Three American hikers have been detained in Iran since July 31, 2009 when they accidentally were found hiking across an unmarked border of Iran. The three Americans who are being detained are: Shane Bauer, Sarah Shourd, and Josh Fattal. Currently, the three are being held by the Iranian government with espionage charges.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently told the press that there are no negotiations taking place between the U.S and Iran on the topic of the three hikers. She said there is no option of exchanging Iranians being held in the U.S for the American hikers. Clinton calls on Iran to release our three citizens based on the fact they are being unjustly held and should release them based upon their humanitarian senses, if they have any. Clinton stresses they are being held on no real grounds that call for detainment.
