A top Iranian official says three U.S. hikers detained in Iran on suspicion of spying could go on trial soon.
The secretary-general of Iran’s High Council for Human Rights, Mohammad Javad Larijani, said Friday that evidence was being collected and that the trial “should not be very far from now.”
Iranian officials arrested Shane Bauer, Sarah Shourd and Josh Fattal about 10 months ago as they were hiking near the Iran-Iraq border. The three have been held at Iran’s Evin prison.
