An 85-year-old American-Iranian, Baquer Namazi, stranded in Iran after being detained there, has been allowed to leave the country, while his son Siamak has been released from detention, the UN secretary-general announced on Saturday and one of the attorneys on the case.
"These are crucial first steps, but we won't stop until the Namazis can all return to the United States and their long nightmare is finally over
," said attorney for the two men, Jared Genser, in a press release.
