Photos Of Inside the Jason Rezaian Life in the U.S.

There were several international campaigns for his release. His case was a centerpiece of the Press Uncuffed campaign by Dana Priest and her students at the Philip Merrill School of Journalism at the University of Maryland in collaboration with the Committee to Protect Journalists. Rezaian’s wife and mother wore Press Uncuffed bracelets during a visit to the prison where Rezaian was being held. Ali Rezaian, Jason’s brother, led a Change.org petition that more than 530,000 people from around the world signed; he and a group of supporters hand delivered it to the consulate on December 3, 2015.
