Report: Mothers met with detained hikers in Iran
The mothers of three American hikers detained in Iran met with their children on Thursday, Iran's Press TV reported as it showed pictures of the tearful reunion.
Sarah Shourd, 31; Shane Bauer, 27; and Josh Fattal, 27, were detained last July. Their families say the three accidentally strayed across an unmarked border into Iran while on a hiking trip in Iraqi Kurdistan.
Fattal's mother, Laura Fattal, last week picked up visas that enabled her and the two other mothers to enter Iran to visit their children. They had applied for visas six months ago.
The three Americans have not been formally charged, although Tehran has said they will face trial on espionage charges.
They have had little contact with the outside world since their arrests.
They made a brief phone call home March 9 and have had access to a few letters and messages sent by relatives, friends and supporters.

New hearing in Dugard case set for Thursday
A court hearing is scheduled Thursday in the case of a northern California couple accused of abducting Jaycee Dugard and holding her captive for more than 18 years in a ramshackle backyard compound.
Phillip Garrido, 58, and his wife, Nancy, 54, are charged with 29 felony counts in the kidnapping of Dugard, who was 11 when she was snatched in 1991 from the street in front of her house in South Lake Tahoe, California.
The couple have pleaded not guilty.
The hearing, scheduled for 1 p.m. (4 p.m. ET) at the El Dorado County Superior Court, is a procedural matter about witnesses in the case.
Authorities say the Garridos held Dugard in a hidden compound behind their home for 18 years. She was 29 when she was found in August at the Garridos' home in Antioch about 120 miles from her house.
