Jason Rezaian is an Iranian-American journalist who was subject to "torture and other cruel treatment" during his year-and-a-half stay in a prison in Tehran.

He was arrested at gunpoint after security forces raided his home, and imprisoned under unproven charges relating to espionage.

Rezaian tweeted earlier this week that hostages in a similar situation look like they’re now being abandoned by Donald Trump.
