Iran Releases New Sailor Video

HeadlineApr 10, 2007

Meanwhile, the Iranian government released new footage Monday in an attempt to counter claims the 15 British sailors and marines were mistreated before their release. The video shows the sailors playing ping pong and watching soccer. The sailors say they were blindfolded, interrogated and held in isolation. Meanwhile, the British military has blocked the sailors from selling their stories to the media. The military had been criticized after the former captives Faye Turney and Arthur Batchelor made separate deals with media outlets.
