Fears deepen for families of people held in Iran amid unrest

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — Families of several U.S. and British people held in Iran expressed fear for their loved ones Tuesday amid the deadliest unrest in decades in the Islamic republic. “Of course any kind of protest that goes on in Iran, and any kind of situation, that overlaps potentially with the fact that our families and loved ones are being held there as well,” said Babak Namazi, whose brother and father are held captive in Iran. Sarah Moriarty, one of Levinson’s seven children, said she was heartened by Iran’s recent acknowledgment that it had an open case before its Revolutionary Court after years of denying any involvement in his disappearance. Moriarty said she interpreted the development as Iran’s first acknowledgment that it had indeed taken Levinson into custody, though Iran has also said it regards Levinson’s case as a “missing person” file.
