That's after originally thanking the regime after her release. Sara Shourd criticizes Iran for using her, Josh Fattal and Shane Bauer to further its own political causes, while disregarding justice and human liberty.
Shourd commented in an article she wrote for The Daily Beast. She says the thanks she expressed to Iran was out of fear for her fellow hikers who were still in custody.
Shourd also feels the U.S. could have done more to prevent or lessen their imprisonment. She was released in September of 2010 after spending more than a year in prison.
Bauer and Fattal were finally released a year later, this past September.
