Congressman Tim Walberg (MI-07) released the following statement after voting for a bipartisan resolution introduced by Congressman Dan Kildee (MI-05) calling for the release of Americans who are imprisoned in Iran, including former Marine Amir Hekmati from Flint, Pastor Saeed Abedini, journalist Jason Rezaian, and Robert Levinson.
"Amir, Saeed, Jason, and Robert have been separated from their loved ones for far too long. The torture and unjust imprisonment of these Americans is an outrage and flies in the face of any attempt by Iran to be taken seriously. We must redouble our efforts to secure their safe return home--now," said Walberg.
