Three Americans were accused of espionage in Iran. Their captivity passed the 100-day point this week. U.S.-Iran relations are tense, so families are having a difficult time negotiating for their freedom. A public relations campaign including joint family statements, a web site, an online petition, and a logo has been created in order to spread knowledge and gain support. Tehran intends to put the three on trial. They may end up being used as bargaining chips during deadlocked negotiations between Washington and Tehran. The penalty for espionage is death in Iran.
