The mother of an American imprisoned in Iran says she fears her son is at risk of contracting coronavirus after reports that the illness has spread to a prison where he was held.
"I am also concerned by credible reports of an outbreak at Evin prison because, at the end of January, Michael was suddenly transferred from Mashhad to Evin where he spent eleven days in a cramped intake cell before being returned to Mashhad without explanation," Joanne White said.
"Time is running out for the Iranian regime to release Michael alive and avoid the consequences that would certainly follow should he die in their custody,' she said. A State Department spokesperson told NBC News that officials are"working with the Swiss on a daily basis to ensure the health, safety, and release of U.S. citizens currently imprisoned in Iran."
