Five Americans considered 'unjustly detained' are no longer in an Iran prison, but they remain under house arrest, the White House said.
The U.S. National Security Council confirmed that five Americans who were"unjustly detained" by Iran have been placed on house arrest.
"We will continue to monitor their condition as closely as possible. Of course, we will not rest until they are all back home in the United States," said Adrienne Watson, spokesperson for the National Security Council."Until that time, negotiations for their eventual release remain ongoing and are delicate. We will, therefore, have little in the way of details to provide about the state of their house arrest or about our efforts to secure their freedom.
"My family has faith in the work that President Biden and government officials have undertaken to bring our families home and hope to receive that news soon. Until that point, I hope you can understand that we do not think it will be helpful to comment further," she said. "Our loved ones have been rotting in foreign prison for years, even decades, in horrific conditions including overcrowding, torture, and psychological abuse," the group told President Biden earlier on Thursday."You can help ensure they spend the rest of their lives with us instead of held hostage.
