The mothers of three Americans held in Iran marked 11 months of their captivity Wednesday with a letter to the country’s supreme leader pleading for their release.
The letter to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was signed by the mothers of Shane Bauer, Sarah Shourd and Josh Fattal. Iranian officials have accused the three of espionage after they were taken into captivity along the Iran-Iraq border last July during what their families say was a hiking trip.
