Parents May Beg For Son in Tehran Clemency Plea
The Moeller family weighs a trip to Tehran to seek clemency for Marine Sgt. Michael Moeller facing a possible 10 year term over alleged sexual relations with an Iranian woman who died after her brother hanged her for family “shame.” Iran’s Parvaneh said parents could help if the victim’s family forgives. Doris Moeller said they needed State Department guidance and might seek a Presidential travel exemption. State Department noted no trial confirmation. In Cairo, the deposed Shah of Iran, post surgery, is described as in very satisfactory condition with over 75 percent survival odds by one doctor, while another warns the long-term outlook remains guarded.
