today there are protesters speaking up in support of marzio hashmi and beyond that on friday there is a planned national day of action with protests taking place in cities across the country such as washington d.c. and new york so it's really created a firestorm the fact that this journalist who works for the iranian network press t.v. but has a u.s. born citizen born in louisiana the fact that she has been held without charges and there's no indication exactly when she will be released she just being held as a material witness the actual reasons for detention are rather unclear the fact that this is taken place has just created an international firestorm ok thank you kind of kind of welcome there in the united states. i think i will news network c.n.n. meanwhile is expanding into new markets opening a portuguese language station in brazil but the same heading the operation is raising more than a few eyebrows. presumes donald trump extreme views on a variety of things telling a congresswoman she was not pretty enough to really express. like. a military dictatorship. this isn't. some p

before her release people protested in washington and tehran a demanding the journalist be let go marzio hashemi family released a statement saying the arrest was unfair. this was never just about marzia his shimmy this is about the fact that any of us muslim and non muslim can be imprisoned without charge in the united states my son who was with me trying to get on that flight instinct would and he did not get on that flight in denver which which i had told him to the f.b.i. i was with him and accompanied him the whole night. till he was not under arrest but actually he com to my hears my other kids if he hadn't been there your children will not lead to just like you disappeared and she realizes how easy it is for them to make someone disappear. if she was not. any exhibit to you no one would have known. where i was mind boggling that you can be arrested it did change shall cause not charged with the crime and. wow i definitely saw it first hand. but. italy's interior minister and deputy prime minister has taken a swipe at e.u. foreign affairs chief for the make a mockery of me suggesti
