美衆議院決議要求伊朗釋放美國公民大綱

The U.S. House of Representatives has passed, late Monday by a vote of 391-0, a non-binding resolution, calling for Iran to release three American citizens, Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian, Pastor Saeed Abedini and Amir Hekmati, who have been held in custody.

Rezaian was arrested last year and is on trial on charges of spying. Abedini has been detained since 2012 for leading Christian worship services. Hekmati, a retired U.S. Marine who was arrested in 2011 while visiting his grandmother, was tried and sentenced to death on espionage charges. His sentence has since been reduced to 10 years.

The resolution also calls for Iran to provide information on former FBI agent Robert Levinson, who disappeared in Iran in 2007.

Congressional lawmakers are pushing Iran to release the Americans as the June 30 deadline approaches for Iran to reach a deal with the United States and five other nations over the Islamic regime's nuclear program.美國衆議院星期一晚上以391票對0票一致通過無法律約束力的決議，要求伊朗釋放被拘押的華盛頓郵報記者瑞賽恩、牧師阿貝迪尼和美國海軍陸戰隊退役人員赫克馬蒂等三名美國公民。

華盛頓郵報記者瑞賽恩去年在伊朗被捕，最近以間諜罪受審。阿貝迪尼2012年因主持基督教禮拜而被捕。赫克馬蒂是美國海軍陸戰隊退役人員，2011年回伊朗探望祖母時被捕，並被以間諜罪判處死刑，後改爲10年徒刑。

衆議院決議還要求伊朗提供2007年在伊朗失蹤的前聯邦調查局特工羅伯特·萊文森的消息。

伊朗與世界六大國有關伊朗核項目的談判面臨6月30日以前達成協議的最後期限，美國議員希望在此之前推動伊朗釋放美國公民。
