“Pompeo’s demands were largely directed at Iran, a U.S. adversary. But at the very least, he should be calling also for the release of American citizens from Saudi Arabia, a U.S. ally.”

I am starting a hunger strike this week in Vienna, 41 years after my release, to demand the release of all hostages being held by #Iran. They are human beings, not bargaining chips. Their freedom should come before we make any deals with an untrustworthy regime. #FreeTheHostages

Let’s make every day of the year an anniversary of freedom!

January 17 is an important day for me. 6 years ago today I was freed, after being held hostage in Iran for 544 days. I was taken from prison, boarded a flight leaving Tehran and reunited with my family. It was a day of celebration and relief.

The fact that this story had to be reported from Beirut underscores the lack of basic freedoms in MBS’s Vision2030 paradise, and also reminds us how MBS held Lebanon’s Prime Minister as his personal prisoner.

Prominent sociologist and former political prisoner, Saeed Madani, was prevented from leaving Iran by the IRGC intelligence arm to begin a one-year research program at Yale.

Iran has a history of preventing activists, journalists, etc from leaving. https://t.co/10y1JiU80H
