Oonozakuzaku baseSwitzerland bavunyelwe ngoLwesibini ukuba batyelele abakhenkethi abathathu baseMelika ababanjiwe eIran ngezityholo zokungena ngokungekho mthethweni, ngokutsho kweSebe laseSwitzerland langaphandle.
Aba bathathu baseMelika babanjwa ngasekupheleni kukaJulayi emva kokuphambuka ngengozi kumhlaba waseIran ngelixa behamba ezintabeni kwindawo ezimeleyo yaseKurdish ekumda weIran.
Abantu abathathu baseMelika abavalelwe eIran nguJoshua Fattal, uShane Bauer, kunye noSarah Shourd. Ukusukela ukubanjwa kwabo ngoonogada baseIran ngoJulayi, iintsapho zabo azikhange ziqhagamshelane nabo.
Kudliwanondlebe ecaleni kweNdibano yeZizwe eziManyeneyo ekuqaleni kwale nyanga, uMongameli wase-Irani uMahmoud Ahmadinejad uthe uzakucela abezomthetho belizwe ukuba bayikhawulezise inkqubo kwaye "bajonge eli tyala ngobubele obukhulu."
Urhulumente waseSwitzerland ngoku umele umdla wase-US e-Iran, njengoko iWashington yabuqhawula ubudlelwane bezozakuzo kunye neTehran ngo-1980, emva kwenguquko yamaSilamsi ka-1979.
Ubudlelwane phakathi kwala mazwe mabini buye baba mandundu ngakumbi ngenxa yeeyantlukwano malunga nenkqubo yenyukliya yase-Iran. Nangona i-Iran igxininisa ukuba inkqubo yayo yenyukliya yenzelwe iinjongo zoxolo zokuvelisa amandla oluntu, iNtshona irhanela ukuba sisigqubuthelo nje samabhongo ezixhobo zenyukliya zelizwe lamaSilamsi.
Inyathelo lase-Irani lokuvumela oonozakuzaku baseSwitzerland ukuba badibane nabakhenkethi baseMelika ababanjiweyo kuza kwiintsuku nje ezimbini phambi kwendibano ekumgangatho ophezulu phakathi kweIran kunye namagunya ehlabathi amathandathu afuna ukucenga i-Iran ukuba iyiyeke inkqubo yayo yenyukliya.
Isithethi seSebe lase-US u-PJ Crowley wamkele intshukumo yase-Iranian, kodwa wongeza ukuba kunzima ukutsho ukuba idibaniswe neengxoxo zenyukliya ezizayo e-Geneva nge-1 ka-Okthobha. Uthe akucaci ukuba abantu baseMelika ababanjiweyo ngoku bazakuvunyelwa ukuba banxibelelane neentsapho zabo.
