Opinion: My husband is unjustly imprisoned in Iran. The international community must help.

This month, my husband, Xiyue Wang, marked his 1,000th day unjustly imprisoned in Iran. He has been in jail for more than twice the time the American diplomats were held hostage from 1979 to 1981 — and he could be kept there until 2026.

Xiyue traveled to Tehran in 2016 as part of his dissertation research comparing governance practices across national boundaries in the late 19th and early 20th centuries — an ambitious project that grew out of his long-standing respect for Islam and his love for Persian culture. Although Xiyue had reservations about traveling to Iran, he felt that since the United States, Iran and other nations had signed the Iran nuclear deal, times were changing and he would be safe.

When we can speak, Xiyue brings up memories of Shaofan, including the funny sounds he made as a baby and the beautiful afternoons when he rode on his father’s shoulders on the way home from day care. Shaofan, however, was too young to remember those moments now. He is quickly growing up into a boy who is curious about the world but confused about his place in it. Recently, he has begun to act out more and ask about his father less.

Democrats don’t care

What the ! ? Doing there?

the international community only helps those that are anti-trump, anti-white, pro-muslim, anti-west, and anti-conservative. You are better off asking for equal outcome so tehy can imprison the rest of his kind to make it equal...

His research topic was how Iranian empires collapsed. As if someone go to Germany and do research on how Jewish community caused Holocaust!! He would have to be more clever than doing this research in Iran while the US politicians every single day talk about regime change!

Opinion | Yes, let’s help Iranians gain freedom — but without killing them in the processHow can we claim to have the Iranian people’s best interests at heart — and then threaten them with war? Yes, because the last time the U.S. 'helped Iran gain freedom'... that turned out just brilliantly... Agree on the whole 'no war' thing. But Trump is an anti-war President. Zero chance he goes into war with Iran or any state barring a mass death attack against us. Why is Iran the ward of America? Why do we have any military outside of our own borders?
