It’s been two months since the group of hikers was taken into

It’s been two months since the group of hikers was taken into custody by Iranian authorities after they apparently crossed the border into that country unknowingly.

Sarah Shourd, 31, was teaching English in Damascus, Syria, where she was living with her boyfriend, Shane Bauer, 27, a writer and photojournalist.

Their friend and fellow UC Berkeley alum Josh Fattal, 27, was visiting when the trio decided to take a hiking trip to northern Iraq, near the Iranian border.

Vigils are planned Wednesday evening in multiple locations including Philadelphia, Minnesota, Oregon and Berkeley.
