April 15 (Reuters) – Iranian student Mahdieh Esfandiari arrived in Iran after being released in France, Iranian state TV reported on Wednesday, after two French nationals facing security charges were allowed to leave Iran following three-and-a-half years in detention.
Esfandiari, who was convicted at the end of February for glorifying terrorism in anti-Israel social media posts, was released after serving almost a year in prison.
“I think it’s clear for everyone that there is no freedom of speech, at least not in France where I was. The court’s ruling was very unjust,” Esfandiari told state television.
