Ali Rezaian has submitted a petition to Iran's United Nations mission demanding that his brother, imprisoned Washington Post journalist Jason Rezaian, be released.
"They need to know that folks around the world are concerned about this," Ali said yesterday (Thursday), as he commemorated 500 days since Jason was arrested.
Jason Rezaian, his wife Yeganeh Salehi, and two other journalists were arrested last July. The latter three have already been released, but Jason was sentenced to an undisclosed prison sentence for allegedly spying on Iran.
