Marise Payne lobbying Iran for release of Australians
Two travel bloggers and a university lecturer have been detained in an Iranian prison, with the Australian government lobbying for their speedy release.
Foreign Minister Marise Payne revealed Thursday she has met with her Iranian counterpart several times to press for the release of three detained Australians.
Senator Payne told parliament she had repeatedly discussed the cases with Iran, as recently as last week.
