PARIS (Europe) – On Friday, France’s Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian reiterated his demands for the release of French-Iranian academic Fariba Adelkhah from Iran.
Iran sentenced Adelkhah to six years in prison on national security charges.
“Today, I once again formally demand on behalf of France the immediate liberation by Iran of Madame Adelkhah. This ongoing situation can only have a negative impact on the bilateral relations between France and Iran, and can only significantly reduce the trust between our two countries.”
