Two French nationals detained in Iran for more than three years have been charged with spying for Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency. Cécile Kohler and her partner Jacques Paris are also accused of conspiracy to overthrow the regime and the sweeping offence of “corruption on earth”. All three charges can carry the death penalty.
Kohler, a 40-year-old literature teacher, and Paris, her 72-year-old partner, were arrested on 7 May 2022 at the end of a tourist trip.
