TEHRAN, Sept. 20 (UPI) -- The anticipated release of two U.S. hikers jailed in Iran for more than two years was delayed Tuesday when a judge who must sign a form didn't appear to court.
Masoud Shafii, the lawyer representing Shane Bauer and Joshua Fattal, arrived at court, where he was told the final judge who must sign the release order was not in, ABC News reported. The judge was supposed to return from vacation Tuesday.
