Xiyue Wang spent over three years in an Iranian prison. He says officials told him it was because they wanted a deal with the U.S. ' ' We want our detainees back. ' ' So, he says, he was told to write 1 sentence: ' 'I am a spy for the United States.' '
He says he had been in Iran for academic research related to his doctorate in Eurasian history, something Princeton — which made behind-the-scenes efforts to secure his release — confirmed.But the officials who interrogated him over the years didn't seem to care much about what he did or didn't know, according to Wang. He says he was being held for different reasons.
Wang ultimately spent some 40 months in a prison north of Tehran, during which he says he was tried in court and sentenced without being allowed to see evidence against him. Wang reunited with his wife and son in December in Germany, where U.S. and international authorities managed the exchange.
