Freed Americans reunited with their families
- 8 years ago
Jason Rezaian, the Washington Post reporter who was freed Saturday after almost 18 months of incarceration in an Iranian prison, met with Post editors Monday for the first time since his release and said he was "feeling good" physically as he recovers in a U.S. military hospital here.
Washington Post Executive Editor Martin Baron and Foreign Editor Douglas Jehl said Rezaian "looked good" during their two-hour meeting in a conference room at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center near the Ramstein Air Base.
The historic nuclear accord with Iran dropped economic sanctions against the country and returned tens of billions of dollars in frozen assets in exchange for restrictions and tighter safeguards on Iran's nuclear program.
Members of Hekmati's family and a congressman from their Michigan district met with Hekmati at the U.S. military hospital for about 15 minutes Monday, the family announced in a statement accompanied by photos of the reunion.
