November 16, 2009
Dear Shane, Josh, and Sarah,
The people who are holding you in Evin Prison may want you to believe you are alone and the world has forgotten you.
Don’t believe them.
There are thousands and thousands of people around the world who are thinking of you every day and working for your safe return home.
I wish you all strength and look forward to the day very soon when I have a chance to meet you in person.
All my best,
Joel Simon
Executive Director
