Prisoner

Negotiations between Iran and the U.S. have come and gone, but Saeed Abedini's wife (Nagmeh) says that he is worse off in Iran than ever, after three years in prison there. Stun gun strikes, solitary confinement, attacks from staff and inmates, there's more of it.

After meeting with the American ambassador to the U.N, Samantha Power, Nagmeh Abedini summed it up this way:

"She said they really thought Iran was acting in good faith with the nuclear deal and would release the Americans,” she said. “Their strategy was hoping. My strategy was from day one they should have said, ‘Release the Americans, and then we'll talk.’”
