Friends of Released Hiker Rejoice

Friends of Oregon hiker Josh Fattal are celebrating in Cottage Grove after learning that he and fellow hiker Shane Bauer were released from an Iranian prison earlier today. Tegra Fisk says after two long years, she and his other friends at the Aprovecho Research Center are "outrageously excited" that the men are finally free. Iranian authorities arrested Fattal and Bauer in 2009 and sentenced them to eight years in prison for spying and entering the country illegally.
