French prisoner Olivier Grondeau, accused of espionage in Iran, is freed before Persian New Year.
French citizen Olivier Grondeau, imprisoned in Iran for over 880 days on espionage charges, has been released, according to French President Emmanuel Macron.
The release coincides with Nowruz, the Persian New Year, when Iran has previously freed prisoners.
The exact circumstances of his release are unclear, but France stated no concessions were made.
Two other French nationals, Cécile Kohler and Jacques Paris, remain in Iranian custody, and France is working to secure their release as well.
