Macron: We are seriously pursuing the effort to free two French hostages in Iran
Emmanuel Macron, the President of France, has described two citizens of his country, who have been imprisoned in Iran for three years on charges of espionage, as hostages and stated that his government is tirelessly working for their release.
Cécile Kohler, a 40-year-old literature teacher from eastern France, and her partner Jacques Paris, who is in his 70s, were arrested on May 7, 2022, on the last day of a tourist trip to Iran.
Today marks the third anniversary of the couple’s detention.
