French couple Cecile Kohler and Jacques Paris, who were released from prison in Iran on Tuesday after more than three years in detention, are out on “conditional release” and remain on bail, the Iranian foreign ministry said Tuesday.
“These two French nationals, jailed for a long time over national security infractions, have been released on bail by the judge in charge of the case and will be placed under surveillance until the next stage of the judicial proceedings,” ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said in statement whose heading described the pair’s “conditional release”.
