It’s been one month since 《华盛顿邮报》 Jason Rezaian was 发布 from prison in Iran. Jason spent 544 days behind bars – longer than any other Western journalist since the Revolution – based on bogus “espionage” charges.

Many people and organizations advocated for Jason’s release, including 新闻Uncuffed, a campaign to help free imprisoned journalists throughout the world 通过 selling bracelets bearing their names. RoseComm与马里兰大学菲利普·梅里尔新闻学院的学生和他们的教授、普利策奖得主记者达纳·普里斯特共同发起了这项活动。 All proceeds benefit the Committee to Protect Journalists.

在戴着新闻Uncuffed手镯的支持者中，有雷扎安的母亲玛丽·雷扎安（Mary Rezaian）和他的妻子耶加尼·萨利希（Yeganeh Salehi）。萨利希最初与雷扎安一起被捕，三个月后获准保释。 We’ve been in touch with Mary since Jason’s release and she recently shared what the campaign has meant to her family.

As a form of psychological torture, journalists who are wrongfully held 通过 their governments are typically told that no one is fighting for their release. 重要的是要向仍在狱中的近200名记者及其家人表明，我们不会放弃他们，也不会放弃更广泛的新闻自由问题。
