Updated: Families Say Release of Hikers is "Best Day of Our Lives"
Two University of California at Berkeley graduates who have been detained in Iran on espionage charges for more than two years were finally released today, according to their families.
Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal, both 29, and a third UC Berkeley graduate, Sarah Shourd, were arrested on July 31, 2009, after embarking on a hike in Iraq's Kurdistan region near the Iranian border.
Iran accused all three of them of espionage and last month Bauer and Fattal were sentenced to eight years in prison.
