Emad Shargi, one of five detained Americans released as part of a deal with Iran, shared new details of his time in captivity.
An American dad who'd been imprisoned on what he calls 'ludicrous' charges in Iran before a prisoner swap deal brought him home wants to move on from that chapter in his life, but not without sharing a warning about his harrowing experience.On Sept. 18, the U.S. reached a deal with Iran to release billions in frozen Iranian funds in exchange for freeing Emad Shargi and four other Americans who had been detained in Iran.
In November 2020, the judge sentenced Shargi to 10 years in prison under a broadly-worded statute, which prohibits cooperating 'by any means' with foreign states against Iran.Before Shargi had to report back to prison, a friend of his came up with an escape plan. Smugglers helped Shargi make his way to Iran's mountainous border with Kurdistan. But Shargi's luck ran out about 30 miles from freedom.An armed Iranian patrol looking for someone else found him.
