Iran: 'The Lady Will Be Released'
Iran said the lone female among the 15 British sailors the country is holding captive will be released, AP reports.
"Today or tomorrow, the lady will be released," Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said, referring to Faye Turney, 26.
AP also reports that Iran plans to broadcast video of the 15 hostages. Doing so for the purposes of humiliation or propaganda is generally seen as a violation of the Geneva Conventions, and British officials said they had received assurances that images of the hostages would not be aired.
