Reporters from Newsweek and the Washington Post quizzed President Ahmadinejad yesterday about Iranian-Canadian journalist and filmmaker Maziar Bahari who has been detained since 21 June without access to a lawyer.
When asked whether he would release Maziar Bahari on humanitarian grounds, Ahmadinejad replied: “I would like all prisoners to be released, but I am not the judge. If I were in charge of this case, I would guarantee that all the prisoners would be released.”
