While good for Ms Griner, it’s a terrible precedent (at many levels). Cherry-picking cases based on celebrity status and other non relevant factors will hurt US hostage policy and efforts in Russia and other nations. Congressional oversight needed. Public hearings.

President Joe Biden signed off on the trade, which took place in the United Arab Emirates, even though it meant leaving behind Paul Whelan, an American corporate security executive who remains jailed in Russia. today.com/news/wnba-star

Griner is released but Whelan is LEFT BEHIND. A combination of certain racial background, certain sexual orientation & celebrity status guarantees Biden’s preferential treatment of some Americans over others. This is a moral hazard & political regression.

Once taken hostage, one’s identity is reduced to a few lines with a profile photo. But these images are profound in showing how fragile life is in front of the passing of time. Across hostages’ portraits there’s light, a pathway back to life. Please bring them home.

“Nasrin” an incredibly timely and important documentary about Iran’s leading human rights defender, Nasrin Sotoudeh, premiers on Friday 12/18. It’s an intimate portrait of her work, but also of the challenges of life in Iran today. Watch it.

“O you who show no mercy in killing us. You burn your profits and capital without hesitation. It is unfair of you not to address our suffering. Which could be taken away with a glance” Devastating and powerful quoted from Hafez in Siamak’s statement. #FreetheNamazis

A friend in Tehran who also knows Siamak told me that Siamak is severely depressed after prolonged unjust imprisonment. Our leaders should keep in mind there are still Americans being held in Iran as hostages and they need to come home!
Quote Tweet
A source in Tehran very close to US hostage Siamak Namazi told me he’s in “an immense amount of pain” but is being denied medical care. He’s been in prison for over 5 years without a day of reprieve, and his ailing 84-year-old father Baquer is still under house arrest.

There are currently innocent citizens of the USA, UK, France, Austria, Sweden and Australia held hostage in Iran. A German citizen, Nahid Taghavi was arrested this week. The international community must put an end to Iran’s hostage diplomacy and free all these innocent people.

Devastating news overnight that the Australian academic and population researcher held in Iran Meymant Chavoshi has received a five-year sentence for "trying to reduce fertility." Iran does not seem to be feeling significant pressure from the Australian government.
