Mothers ask Iran to free US hikers
The mothers of three US citizens held in Iran for 10 months amid spy accusations have called for their release as a "humanitarian gesture" following a reunion with their children. Iran detained Sarah Shourd, 31; Shane Bauer, 27; and Josh Fattal, 27 on July 31, accusing them of illegal border crossing, spying and having links to US intelligence.
