In a joint Newsweek/Washington Post interview, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was asked whether he would consider releasing Maziar Bahari on humanitarian grounds. “I would like all prisoners to be released, but I am not the judge,” he answered. “The judge has to decide on this.”
Before ending the interview President Ahmadinejad was asked: “So, Mr. President, the last question: will you do something for Maziar? Say you’ll help him. He works for us. It’s a very difficult situation.” “I will do my effort,” replied the President. “Please advise your colleagues not to break the laws.”
