Iran says France has provided bail for the release of a
French lecturer charged with carrying out anti-Islamic
Republic activities in the course of the country's
post-vote unrest.
Clotilde Reiss, who was working in Iran as a lecturer in
the Isfahan Technical University, was detained on July 1
at the Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKIA) as
she was about to leave the country.
The arrest of the French national came amidst turmoil in
Iran where hundreds of thousands of people took to the
streets in protest at the result of the 10th presidential
election that named Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the
official victor with nearly two-thirds of the June 12
votes.
On JLdy 8, she appeared at a court session, saying that
she had written to the French embassy and about 50
friends or members of her family about Iran's nuclear program as well as the country's post-election
developments, the official Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported.
During her court address, Reiss also apologized for taking part in “illegal protests” that erupted in Iran following
the disputed vote.
“I should not have taken part in illegal protests... I regret (my activities),” the Frenclwvoman said in the court
Saturday.
Following the court session, Iran said “if the [ French] government and ambassador promise” Reiss can stay in
the French Embassy in Tehran until the end of the judicial process.
An unnamed government source in Iran told Press TV that the embassy has taken a step to free the detained
French national.
‘The French Embassy in Tehran has conveyed an official letter to Iran's Foreign Ministry accepting to provide bail
and written guarantees asking for the release of Miss Clotilde Reiss,” the unnamed official said on Wednesday.
The source added that Iran's judiciary will be informed of the matter to take necessary measures on the issue.
