Boxing legend Muhammad Ali is asking Iran to release two American hikers held since 2009 on spy charges.
Ali, arguably the most prominent U.S. ******, released the letter he wrote to supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to The Associated Press exclusively Wednesday.
The Feb. 1 letter asks Khameini to release Josh Fattal and Shane Bauer, who were arrested while hiking in northern Iraq near the Iranian border. A third hiker, Sarah Shoud, was released on bail in September, shortly after Ali first wrote to Khamenei.
Ali's letter asks Khamenei as a brother in Islam to show the same mercy and compassion for the two men.
Ali founded his center for world peace in Louisville, where he grew up and launched a boxing career that included three world heavyweight titles.
