Mahdieh Esfandiari released on parole by France: FM spox

TEHRAN, Oct. 22 (MNA) – The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei announced on Wednesday night the conditional release of Ms. Mahdieh Esfandiari, an Iranian citizen imprisoned in France.

Welcoming the French judge's decision to issue a verdict for Ms. Esfandiari's release on parole, Baghaei stressed that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will continue its efforts until the complete release of this Iranian citizen and her return to her homeland.

Esfandiari has been in jail since March for denouncing Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the massacre of Palestinian women and children.

Her case has sparked international outcry, with supporters slamming Esfandiar’s politically-motivated detention as a grave violation of the freedom of speech.
