**Two Years is Far Too Long – Iran Must Free Shane and Josh Now!**
On July 29th, two days before American hikers Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal stand trial on the second anniversary of their wrongful imprisonment in Iran, their families, friends and supporters will hold a peaceful protest in front of the Iranian Mission to the United Nations in New York City. Please join the families of these two innocent peace activists and Sarah Shourd, who spent 14 months in prison with them, to attest to Shane and Josh’s innocence and demand their freedom!
The Iranian judiciary has announced that a final decision in Shane and Josh’s case will be made at a court hearing on July 31st. The only final decision we will accept is their FREEDOM!
