Journalist's family brings petition to UN; calls for his release from Iranian prison

The family members of the American journalist Jason Rezaian, who's
been in prison in Iran for 500 days on spying charges, are delivering
a petition to the UN this Thursday.

They hope the move will put more of a spotlight on his case, since no
date has yet been set for his trial.

Laura Cantekin reports from UN headquarters in New York.
