Emad Shargi's Harrowing Journey: A Prisoner Freed from Iran

Emad Shargi, an American businessman, shares his harrowing story of being imprisoned in Iran for over five years. Shargi and four other Americans were recently freed in a prisoner deal involving $6 billion in restricted Iranian oil revenue. Shargi's ordeal highlights the challenges and dangers involved in bringing American citizens home from Iran. He describes the dehumanizing treatment, torture threats, and psychological abuse he endured during his time in prison. Shargi's release came after his sister campaigned for his freedom and a complex agreement was reached between the U.S. and Iran.
