Boroujerdi calls for securing release of Iranian youth jailed in US

Tehran, July 2, IRNA – Chairman of Majlis (Iranian parliament) National Security and Foreign Policy Commission in a letter to Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif underlined the need for taking immediate and serious action to secure freedom of jailed Iranian youth in the US. 'A considerable number of educated Iranian youth have been arrested by the US intelligence agency and transferred to the US by pressuring different countries on the pretext of their efforts to procure the sanctioned items,' Alaeddin Boroujerdi wrote in his letter to Zarif. He reiterated that in view of the fact that the sanctions imposed against Iran have no legal basis and they are blatant oppression against the rights of the Iranians and the US has played the biggest role in imposing them; I strongly request you in your capacity as foreign minister to use all your capacities for releasing these youth who have been unfairly jailed in the US.
