Iran, Macron: “Cécile Kohler and Jacques Paris are free”

Paris, Apr 7 (LaPresse) – “Cécile Kohler and Jacques Paris are free and on their way to French territory, after three and a half years of detention in Iran. It is a relief for all of us and of course for their families.” This was announced on social media by French President Emmanuel Macron. “Thanks to the Omani authorities for their mediation efforts, to state services and to citizens who mobilized tirelessly and thus contributed to their return,” he explained. Sources close to Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot told Bfmtv that the two former hostages left Iran this morning, accompanied by the French ambassador to Iran and in a diplomatic convoy. They are currently in Azerbaijan.
