Ali has pleaded with the government of Iran to release two American hikers arrested in 2009 and charged with spying. The Feb. 1, 2011 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. (AP Photo/Ed Reinke, File)
