French Embassy worker Nazak Afshar, who is on trial
in connection with post-election unrest in Iran, has been
released from prison, the French presidency has said.
It said in a statement that President Nicolas Sarkozy
spoke to Afshar after she was released from the prison
where she had been held.
Afshar, along with 24-year-old French academic
Clotilde Reiss were among hundreds of defendants on
trial Saturday after being arrested during the
widespread protests, which followed the re-election of
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in a disputed
presidential poll.
Sarkozy has also repeated his call for the release of
Reiss ‘without delay', the statement said.
During the Saturday court, Afshar ‘confessed' that she had taken part in post-election demonstrations, sent
emails containing information on the protests, and let protestors into the embassy based on orders given by her
employers.
French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner confirmed and defended the country's Tehran embassy decision to
give refuge to irjured Iranian protestors.
