| Jesse Jackson Sr. offers to go to Iran to free Roxana Saberi |
| 2009-04-22 |
| The Rev. Jesse Jackson has offered to travel to Iran to help release a jailed Iranian-American journalist who was recently convicted of spying. "If our voices are heard in Iran today, I would be anxious to travel with a delegation to Iran, if we are permitted, and make an appeal for her freedom," but what if Iran took Jesse hostage...and they didn't give him back... oh horrors and then maybe Al Sharpton would go over there and appeal and... said the longtime civil rights activist, according to his Rainbow PUSH Coalition. Jackson, 67, was speaking Tuesday at a peace conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. "Whenever we've brought people out of captivity, whether in Syria, Cuba, Iraq, or Yugoslavia, or Liberia, it's always opened a diplomatic door to reduce tensions," he added. |
