Senate To Vote On Risch Bill

U.S. Sen. Jim Risch today announced that the full Senate will vote Monday, at 3:30 p.m. MDT, on S.Con.Res 16, regarding American prisoners held in Iran. Risch’s legislation calls for the release of four Americans being held as political prisoners in Iran and directs the administration to use all diplomatic tools at its disposal to do that. One such tool, of course, is to refuse to lift sanctions without securing the American prisoners’ release. The resolution calls for the release of Pastor Saeed Abedini of Boise, as well as the release of former U.S. Marine Amir Hekmati, former FBI agent Robert Levinson, and Washington Post journalist Jason Rezaian/ Office of U.S. Sen.
