France on Friday demanded the “immediate” and “unconditional” release ofthree of its citizens held in Iran, outgoing Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrotsaid.
Speaking to France Inter radio, Barrot declined to address comments byhis Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi, who announced that a prisoner exchangedeal was close.
Araghchi said in a televised interview that talks were in their finalstage for the release of French nationals in exchange for Mahdieh Esfandiari,an Iranian woman detained in France in February on charges of promotingterrorism online. Tehran insists she has been unjustly held.
France has filed a case at the International Court of Justice over thedetention of two of its citizens, Cecile Kohler, 40, and Jacques Paris, in his70s, who were arrested in May 2022 and accused of spying for Israel.
Kohler and Paris are among about 20 Europeans imprisoned in Iran,including a Franco-German teenager who disappeared in June during a cyclingtrip and was later confirmed to be in custody.
