ShafaqNews/ On Wednesday, French ForeignMinister Jean-Noël Barrot advised French nationals against traveling to Iranand urged those currently in the country to return home, citing risks ofarbitrary detention.
Speakingbefore the French Senate’s foreign affairs committee, Barrot stated, "Itake this opportunity to call on all our citizens not to travel to Iran, and onthose already there to leave the country and return to France, in order toavoid the risk of arbitrary detention or being taken hostage."
Theminister did not specify the number of French citizens presently in Iran. TheFrench government has consistently expressed concern over travel to Iran,particularly for tourism, despite existing advisories.
Barrotalso noted that two French citizens, whom Paris considers "statehostages," remain detained in Iran. Diplomatic efforts to secure theirrelease have been ongoing for more than two years.
One ofthe detainees, French language teacher Cécile Kohler, has been held along withher partner Jacques Paris since May 2022 on espionage charges. Both arereportedly in solitary confinement at Tehran’s Evin prison.
Neitherdetainee has received consular visits for over a year. Last week, Barrotannounced that France would "soon" file a complaint with theInternational Court of Justice over Iran’s "violation of the right toconsular protection."
