Lawyer Speaks Out About The Arrested Hikers in Iran

CU- Karen DeSoto "Course, you know, Americans would say that the fix is in but the problem is that it's very difficult for the families to speak out because no body wants to be disrespectful. And it's very nice to talk about defendants rights, but when somebody's holding, literally, a gun to your children's head then you wanna be respectful you wanna walk on eggshells and hope that maybe they will let them free and that they're not going to be used as a political chip." says Karen DeSoto of the American hikers that were captured in Iran and are now sentenced to 8 years in prison. Shane M. Bauer and Joshua F. Fattal, both 29, odyssey through Iran's judicial system began when they wandered over the border from Iraq by mistake with a friend, but their case was quickly entangled with Iran's foreign and domestic politics.
