Lawyer for two US 'hikers' to appeal Iran spy sentence

TEHERAN, Iran - US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Sunday she was "deeply disappointed" over the eight-year prison sentence given to two US citizens who have said they had strayed unwittingly into Iran.

"We are deeply disappointed that Iranian judicial authorities have sentenced Shane Bauer and Joshua Fattal to eight years in prison," Clinton said.

"We continue to call and work for their immediate release - it is time for them to return home and be reunited with their families."
