Levinson Family Court Testimony Raises Pressure on Iran for American's
Release

Michael Lipin

   WASHINGTON - An American family suing Iran in a U.S. court for the 2007
   disappearance of family patriarch Robert Levinson on an Iranian island
   has emerged from two days of tearful testimony more determined than
   ever to press Tehran for his release.

   The testimony of the retired FBI agent's wife and seven adult children
   at the Wednesday and Thursday sessions of Washington's U.S. District
   Court "is one way to keep reminding the Iranians that we're not going
   away," said eldest son Dan Levinson in a Friday appearance on [1]VOA
   Persian's Late News program.

   "They know exactly where my father is," he said of the Iranian
   government. "It's been almost 13 years (since the disappearance) and
   we're just suffering terribly. It's time for them to send my father
   home. And this (court testimony) is one way to hold them accountable
   and to pressure them to get this resolved."
