The Three Hikers: Our Capture and Detention in Iran's Worst Prison

[@sasansosmar988]

As an Iranian, I am really sorry for these three young men..but the world must believe that the regime of the mullahs is not the will of the Iranian people..In fact, the people of Iran have been held hostage by this barbaric army of Islam for 44 years..and unfortunately, many from the governments, especially the western ones; They don't give the least importance to the crimes of these cave-dwelling barbarians...and it's as if human rights were an important issue only during the time of the late Shah! When Iran was really free and on the way to growth...but the West saw these barbarians as a barrier in front of the communists, that was all that was important and that was enough...I wish for freedom for all the hostages of the world...and the liberation of the world and its people from A disaster called religion.. all religions..

[@staunchlyspeaking]

We are all victims of our own circumstances. I never judge citizens of countries just their governments. Liberals on the other hand look at citizens and governments as one.

[@johndewey6358]

We know the Mullahs do not represent the Iranian people and Iranian culture.

I just listened the video of Drew Binsky and his trip to Iran. The people are so welcoming, generous are proud of their country, but not their government it seems. The tourism industry would be 10x the size if the government was more liberal. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6evqqN4htesmMk

The border of Iran and Iraqi Kurdistan has been completely insecure for fifty years and most of the time it leads to war. Due to the knowledge and work of these three people, we are sure that the choice of this spot for climbing and recreation cannot be true.

In Iran you don't just go. In Bolivia I just went for 5 months in 2004. Just Rurrenabaque and Beni , Copacabana and Isla del sol , and La Paz. Up and down the death road. 2 times. I am sorry to say almost all the victims in the Muslim Middle East are self described Liberal P.C. types that post before the trip about how their good vibrations and intentions will be reflected back on them. Paul Joseph Watson showcases some of the tragic cases. The Couple with the "Hitch hiking Iraq" banner on social media. They were disappeared first 24 hour And any man that takes his woman on one of these well , she should trade him. Before anyone attacks me think first and be honest.

Был прекрасный фильм с Микеле Плачидо в главной роли ,,Эти вкусные белые люди,, в котором показана была благотворительная поездка главного героя в центральную Африку с гуманитарной помощью нищему населению и голодающим племенам африканцев. Он должен был доставить свой груз по назначению в определенное место пустыни по договоренности. Его грузом был кетчуп, с которым его и его белых попутчиков канибаллы-африканцы и съели в конце концов ((( Зачем лезть с помощью к тем, кто даже понятия не имеет зачем им это нужно????

Im sure these 3 young people are reasonably educated but they surely lacked COMMON SENSE ! You dont go hiking anywhere near the Iranian border, for any reason ! Anything about that, you dont understand ?

[@Sokol10]

I have no sympathy for these young people, who first want to overthrow the government of their own country, and when they find themselves in a bad situation, for being in the wrong place, at the wrong time in another country, they hope that the government of their country will bail them out of trouble.

[@samminallah]

Mate sympathy comes with experience and enduring the worst. Hence your statement. These kids were out reporting the wars that US soldiers fought. Sarah was in the process of being a teacher to kids who became refugees due to the wars the US initiated. Essentially cleaning up the sheer child torture that was created by the strikes on them. She didn't want them to miss out on being educated. The third chap should never have had to experience his life being confined to a 10 foot room. Re asses yourself. There is no harm in it.

What happened to these people was not fair or right, nor what is happening to those people in Guantanamo bay who are there without any charge or trial, arguably in a worse kind of prison.But we as Americans need to learn to respect other countries' laws and boundaries. Sometimes our arrogance gets us into trouble.

[@aloysiouskatschmarek8905]

Terrorists elect to play outside the rules of "The Game" from the outset. They cannot expect to be the beneficiaries of safeguards in place for the protection of normal citizens. If one is truly innocent and merely unfortunate in his choice of companions or location, he must be viewed as an innocent victim in the war against terrorism. That does not invalidate the measure.

[@jocelyneallaire1034]

These 3 hikers who are all educated need to be re-educated about hiking near borders world wide. Seriously, they were told to go hiking in that area it was a nice place. I am wondering if they were set up!
