Witnesses say the mothers of three Americans jailed in Iran for 10 months are heading to the airport to return home without securing an immediate release of their children.
The witnesses say the mothers left the Tehran hotel where they had two meetings with the trio and were being driven to the airport. They say their children, Sarah Shourd, 31; Shane Bauer, 27; and Josh Fattal, 27, were taken by authorities back to nearby Evin prison.
The mothers arrived Wednesday and said they hoped their children would be allowed to return with them.
