Paris has filed a case against Tehran at the UN's International Court of Justice over two French citizens who have been held in Iran for three years, the French foreign minister said on Friday.
In its case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), France accuses Iran "of violating its obligation to provide consular protection" to Cecile Kohler and Jacques Paris and holding them "hostage" under "appalling conditions that amount to torture", Jean-Noel Barrot told France 2 television.
