Iranian-French academic Fariba Adelkhah was released from Iran’s Evin prison, France said on Friday, but it was unclear what the conditions of her release were.
Adelkhah has been in prison since Iranian authorities arrested her in 2019 during a visit. She is one of seven French nationals detained in Iran, a factor that has worsened relations between Paris and Tehran"It is essential that all of Ms. Fariba Adelkhah's freedoms are restored, including returning to France if she wishes," the French foreign ministry said in a statement.
Iranian authorities sentenced Adelkhah in 2020 to five years in prison on national security charges. They moved her to house arrest later but in January she returned to jail. Adelkhah has denied the charges. France has called them "politically motivated" and repeatedly called for the release of Adelkhah, a researcher affiliated with Paris’ prestigious Sciences Po university.
In recent years, Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards have arrested dozens of dual nationals and foreigners, mostly on charges related to espionage and security.
