Americans were moved from tehrans Notorious Eivin Prison to a hotel guarded by iranian officials earlier today. Cnns Christiane Amanpour was first to break the story. She also spoke with one of the Iranian American detainees in an unprecedented interview from the prison back in march. She joins us now. 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.
