8:07 am
detained in iran. michael white's family says he's been held captive in the country since last summer and it echoes the case of our roxana saberi. in 2009 before joining cbs news she was imprisoned in iran on a false charge of spying for the cia. she was released after 100 days. she has spoken to white's mother and joins us now from london. i'm sure white's mother of all people could really have heard from you and appreciated that conversation that you had. tell us about what she said. >> reporter: well, good morning, and i hope she appreciated it. it was a good conversation for me as well. joanne white says she's begging iran to free her son and she wants the trump administration to speak with iranian authorities to secure his release. iran's foreign ministry spokesman confirmed wednesday that iran arrested michael white, quote, some time ago. he add that had white is being investigated though he didn't say for what. white's mother says her son had traveled to iran three times to visit an iranian woman who had
8:08 am
met online, but 46-year-old didn't return from his trip in july. she says it wasn't until about three weeks ago that the state department told her he was detained, and about the same time a former inmapt who says he met white in prison broke the news of white's detention on twitter and said he was suffering psychologically and was being held with dangerous c. the state department has not comment on any ongoing efforts to secure white's release. bianna. >> as you mentioned this, hits home close to you for the many reasons you were held there for 100 days. you were hildt at a different prison, but based on your experience there, what could he be going through right now? >> there is a pattern. typically you're first put in solitary confinement. when you're cut off from the outside world, you don't have phone calls and no access to an attorney which is the experience that white had. you also undergo intense interrogations. in my case i was blindfolded and
8:09 am
facing a wall and pressured to make a false confession. prisoners also report being tortured, whether it's physical or psychological. the hardest part for me was to be in solitary confinement because you have no one to talk to except yourself, and you have nothing to do except thinking and usually what you think about is how worried your family is about you, especially when they don't know where you are and they could even think you're dead which makes you a lot more vulnerable to the pressures of prison. >> roxana, this is very chilling hearing you talk about this and i know we've got to go. why did they think you were a spy to begin with? >> you know, to this day i'm not certain. i do know that it is a fairly common accusation that the iranian authorities make against dual nationals, iranian-americans as well as americans, and they often fabricate evidence and put you under pressure, as i said, to make false confessions. without an attorney, it's very hard to defend yourself. >> all right. >> roxana, thank you. extraordinary insight on what michael white and his family are going through. thank you so much.
