French citizens in Iran: death penalty for alleged espionage!

Teheran, Iran - The situation for the two French citizens Cécile Kohler and Jacques Paris in Iran is heading. The two have been behind Swedish walls for over three years, and now severe charges have been raised against them. According to information from Le Journal du dimanche you are because of "spy for the Mossad", "Conspiracy for the fall of the regime" and "Corruption on earth" accused. These charges cannot be ignored because they can be punished with the death penalty.

The latest developments were announced by Cécile Kohler's sister on July 2. On July 1, Kohler and Paris had a meeting with an official of the French Foreign Ministry, Jean-Noël Barrot. He commented on the "unworthy conditions that torture torture" and the lack of information about the health of the two detained. The French Foreign Minister has repeatedly demanded the immediate and unconditional release of the two in the past.

the future of a future

The allegations that were raised against Cécile and Jacques appear to be "completely unfounded" for many experts. A western diplomatic source and the environment of the detainees confirmed that the charges are described as "infused". But reality looks different: Each of these allegations could be punished with the death penalty, which increases the urgency for France and the families of the two.

The last few weeks have been particularly turbulent. The Evin prison, in which the two are recorded, was bombed by the Israeli army on June 23. According to Iranian authorities, at least 71 people were killed. Whether Kohler and Paris were injured remains uncertain, but concern for their well -being is noticeable. After the attack, families and lawyers demanded "a proof of life" for the two.

human rights dimensions

The situation in Iran also raises major questions: The struggle for basic human rights has been suppressed in the country for many years. In a society where every Dissenz is punished, the outcry for more freedom often remains unheard. According to Amnesty International , human rights violations, such as arbitrary arrivals and torture, are on the agenda. The death penalty is not only used as a legal means, but also for political oppression.

In the middle of this gloomy reality, Cécile Kohler, 40 years old and teacher, as well as Jacques Paris, who counts 72 years and was arrested on May 7, 2022 during her tourist stay in Iran. It remains to be seen whether your story will come to an end or whether you remain trapped in the machinations of Iranian politics.

The families of the detainees are increasingly concerned. On June 27, Anne-Laure Paris, the daughter of Jacques, added that she demanded "concrete answers" to her father's fate. At a time when hopes and fears are sufficient, the fate of the two Frenchmen is not only a question of individual suffering, but also a clear symbol for the challenges that many in Iran.
