French nationals previously jailed in Iran are free- Macron

0

Two previously detained French nationals Cécile Kohler and Jacques Paris have been allowed to leave Iran.

In a post on X, French President Emmanuel Macron thanks authorities for their support in mediation.

Kohler and Paris were handed lengthy prison sentences by a court in Iran last year after being convicted of espionage. They were released from detention in November.

They were arrested in May 2022 during a tourist trip.

France previously accused Iran of holding Kohler and Paris arbitrarily and keeping them in conditions akin to torture. Iran denied the claims.
