A day after Iran set a 500000 dollar bail for Sarah Shourd, her family urged dropping or lowering the sum as Swiss diplomats report difficulty in arranging payment. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard criticized the move and a lawmaker mocked the potential release amid sanctions and political tensions. Funds are being raised by friends to cover costs.
