Default US hikers' lawyer hopes for Iran verdict in week (AFP)
AFP - The lawyer for three US hikers detained in Iran since 2009 for alleged spying said on Thursday he is "hopeful" of a verdict within the next week. Sarah Shourd 32, her fiance Shane Bauer 28 and their friend Josh Fattal 28, were hiking in the mountains of northern Iraq close to Iran's border when they were arrested on July 31, 2009 after allegedly straying into Iranian territory.

Iran allowed Shourd to return home on bail of around 500,000 dollars in September 2010 on humanitarian and medical grounds.

"I am very optimistic and hopeful that with the court being understanding, the case will be resolved. I hope that the verdict is issued after this session," Masoud Shafii told AFP, referring to the May 11 hearing.
