BERKELEY, Calif. — Supporters of three American hikers detained in Iran are planning vigils around the country to draw attention to their plight.

The vigils Wednesday are being held two months after Joshua Fattal, Shane Bauer and Sarah Shourd were detained for illegal entry after straying over the border during a hike in northern Iraq. All three are graduates of the University of California, Berkeley.

Vigils are planned Wednesday evening in multiple locations including Philadelphia, Minnesota, Oregon and Berkeley.

Since the three were arrested, their families have had no contact with them.

On Tuesday, Iran told Swiss diplomats they could meet with the three Americans, something viewed as a conciliatory gesture.
