Christiane, Siamak Namazi took a huge risk talking to you, but it does seem his message has been heard. Reporter well, lets hope so because he was desperate. And youre absolutely right. He told me desperate times, you know, mean you have to take desperate measures. And it was an extraordinary thing for somebody to be able to take a phone call out of eivin.
