Six French nationals remain imprisoned in Iran. A seventh, the Franco-Iranian researcher Fariba Adelkhah, is no longer behind bars, having been released from Tehran's Evin prison in February. But the Iranian authorities have refused to return her identity papers, making it impossible for her to travel.
Adelkhah was arrested in 2019 and sentenced to five years in prison for having endangered national security. She was released in February after serving three-and-a-half years.
