October 05, 2016, 12:53 pm By Eric Lebson, contributor to THE HILL Photo: Family of Robert Levinson (Getty Images) Earlier this year, the White House marked the one-year anniversary of its revised hostage policy, created with the renewed hope of reuniting Americans held against their will with the families who love them. For most people,…
There may be, and likely are, other Americans who were secretly abducted and held in Iran as hostages-prisoners that the U.S. government is aware of, but the general public knows nothing about. That’s mainly because of the U.S. State Department’s policy and advice to the families of new hostages is not to talk to the media. Instead they are counseled to keep quiet, to…
~ Our original mission has been accomplished, partly. Our main objective at ‘FreeAllThree.com’ in mid-2013 was to raise awareness among Americans that there were, at the time, three men held hostage in Iran, not one or two. Three Americans were held against their wills in Iran. They were: Robert “Bob” Levinson, Amir Hekmati and Saeed Abedini. ~At that time each family was…

#Days Iran Has Imprisoned 5 Americans: IRAN RECEIVED $700 MILLION PER MONTH FOR 18 MONTHS – $12.6 BILLION – JUST FOR NEGOTIATING! BUT …. AMERICA GOT NOTHING!

PLEASE STAY OUT OF IRAN!! Why is the U.S. State Department being so timid when it comes to Iran and Americans’ safety? If they will not warn you, I will! You may have little or no difficulty entering Iran, but LEAVING is the problem! Iran, fresh off of a political, diplomatic and economic victory as a result…
Pray this will be the last holiday these Five American citizens will miss with their families. There is no reason why the Obama Administration should not trade the 19 or more Iranian nationals presently held in Federal prisons for all of the Americans currently held in Iran.
FreeAllThree.com Editorial – Iran should compensate for Jason Rezaian’s and his wife Yegi’s arbitrary detention. Yegi, also a reporter, was eventually released, but only after legal expenses and bail were paid. The other three Americans held in Iran today should be compensated as well. They are retired FBI/DEA agent Robert Levinson, former US Marine Amir Hekmati and Christian Pastor Saeed…

Whether that anger could grow and have…
