ALEXANDRIA, Virginia - Feb 22, 2017, 3:30PM EST +1.703.566.3037

According to an Associated Press (Tehran) report published by ABC


News at 6:26 a.m. EST, U.S. resident Nizar Zakka confessed.

Mr. Zakkas lawyer in the United States, Mr. Jason Poblete, says any
reports alleging that Mr. Zakka confessed are absolutely false. This is
just another ploy by a segment of the Iranian government designed to
distract from the ongoing hostage crisis, Poblete added.

On behalf of Nizar, and all other U.S. hostages and westerners, we


urge the Trump Administration and the Congress to do everything possible
to secure the immediate and unconditional release of Nizar and all other
U.S. and westerners unjustly detained in Iran, Poblete concluded.
