France has issued a formal demand for the release of its two citizens, Cecile Kohler and her partner, Jacques Paris, who have been detained in Iran since 2022. The French government asserts that the individuals are being held under conditions considered akin to torture, raising concerns about their well-being. Both Kohler and Paris were arrested in July. France maintains that the individuals are facing a legal and political situation in Iran and seeks a resolution that respects their human rights.
