Shourd smiled broad- ly as they strolled arm-in-arm through the heat of the late sum- mer night along the Gulf of Oman. “I’m grateful and I’m very humbled by this moment,” she said before boarding the plane in Tehran for the two-hour flight to Oman. The whirlwind departure of the 32-year-old Shourd brought little change for two other Americans — her fiance Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal — who remained behind bars while authorities moved to- ward possible trials on spy charges that could bring up to 10 years in prison if they are convicted. The three were detained along the Iraq border in July 2009. Their families say they were innocent hikers in the scenic mountains of Iraq’s Kurdish region and if they did stray across the border into Iran, they did so unwittingly. “All of our families are relieved and overjoyed that Sarah has at last been released, but we’re also heart- broken that Shane and Josh are still being denied their freedom for no just cause ... They deserve to come home, too,” said a statement by the three families. Iran, however, has shown no hints of clemency for the two 28-year-old men. Indictments on espionage-related charges have been filed and Tehran’s chief pros- ecutor has suggested the cases could soon move into the courts, with Shourd tried in absentia. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he welcomed Shourd’s release “and I appreciate the flexibility of Iranian govern- ment.” “At the same time, as secretary- general of the United Nations, I would sincerely hope that Iranian government will again very fa- vorably consider releasing the re- maining two American hikers so that they could join their families as soon as possible,” he said in an interview in New York with AP and AP Television News. Any other scenario could bring more unwanted attention to the growing rivalries inside Iran’s Is- lamic leadership. Even the gesture to release Shourd on health grounds — first raised as an act of Islamic benevo- lence last week by President Mah- moud Ahmadinejad — turned into a spectacle of high-level polit- ical bullying and sniping over who controlled her fate and the overall wisdom of letting her go. The open bickering seemed to harden the divisions that have been developing since the brush with chaos after Ahmadinejad’s disputed re-election last year.
