Baquer Namazi, Held by Iran for 7 Years, Is Released
nytimesSEP 2022
Baquer Namazi was wrongfully and cruelly detained in 2016 while trying to secure the release of his son. While his release is a positive step, the US must work diligently to free all wrongfully detained US citizens in Iran. Tehran's unjust detentions are a human rights issue.
Iran has every right to combat the threat of extremism and terrorism often inflicted by US and Western meddling. Titles such as "dual nationality" are not a free pass for those who cannot respect Iranian law. Tehran has a responsibility to take reasonable security precautions.
