Other than showing loyalty to their lawyer (whom they said was not given a fair opportunity to represent them) how are they showing empathy towards Iran?
"We lived in a world of lies and false hope,"
"the worst experience of our lives."
How do you get Stockholm Syndrome out of "this was the worst experience of our lives?"
If that is your idea of empathy, what is your idea of hatred?
In psychology, Stockholm syndrome is a term used to describe a real paradoxical psychological phenomenon wherein hostages express empathy and have positive feelings towards their captors, sometimes to the point of defending them. These feelings are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims, who essentially mistake a lack of abuse from their captors for an act of kindness

While not siding with Iran, these hikers are saying their mistreatment in Iran was a direct result of mutual hostility between America and Iran, and added that Guantanamo military prisons give Iran an excuse to treat their political prisoners with an equal hostility.

Guess you never saw all the pictures that were leaked from Guantanimo Bay.
Siding with Terrorists is a pretty sick position to take.

Did these hikers show even 0.00001 % empathy towards Iran? The answer is no, so there is zero evidence of them having some type of Stockholm syndrome.

I think your entire OP is full of empathy for Iran....basically saying it's the USA's fault due o Gitmo and policy.
