For the first time the parents of an American who could face the death penalty in Iran for alleged espionage have gone before a camera in stirring video to speak about their young son and the suffering they've endured since the arrest of the "typical American boy."

"Everywhere I go I see him. His face is in front of me everywhere," Behnaz Hekmati, mother of arrested Amir Hekmati, says as tears stream down her face in the new video posted on FreeAmir.org. "I miss him so much. I miss him so much… [But] I keep myself strong because I know my boy needs me. I need to help him."

PURE UNADULTERATED VIOLENCE

by Simorgh5555 on

Against the Islamic Republic.

Shock and awe.

Bomb them in their houses.

Bomb them in their mosques

Bomb them in their seminaries in Qom

Bomb them in their barracks

Bomb them in their cars

A WAR AGAINST THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC IS THE MOST NOBLE, VITAL AND JUST CONFLICT THAT MUST HAPPEN.

It sounds like Amir is on his own. I don't see much tangible effort freeing him!

 

I feel for this lady; yesterday was Mother's Day!
