French President Emmanuel Macron has given an important information. According to which Iran has released a French researcher imprisoned for almost a year. France has also requested Iran to release Fariba Adelkha, a colleague of researcher Roland Marshall (64). The French researcher's release has been made in exchange for the release of an Iranian engineer from France on Friday. France had been demanding the release of Marshall and his ally Fariba (60) over the past several months.

For your information, let us tell you that both of them were arrested on charges of conspiring against Iran in 2019. A hearing in the court had also started against them in the current month of March. Fariba has dual citizenship of Iran and France but Iran considers it her own citizen. Fariba is an expert on religious matters of Shia Muslims. Iran has also exchanged prisoners with the US, Australia and Germany in recent months. Marshall will reach France by late night on Saturday.

According to Iran's news service of legal affairs, Mizan, before the release of Marshall, Iranian citizen Jalal Roholanezad has been released from French prison on Friday. Jalal, an engineer jailed in France for a year, was accused of breaking US sanctions on Iran. On March 11, a French court ordered Jalal to extradite the US, but the government changed the court order and released the Iranian engineer. The Iranian news agency has described it as being a French ally.
