Detention Risks and Deal European

iran: The detention risks increasing tension between Paris and Tehran at a critical moment in the crisis over Iran's nuclear deal, according to The Guardian. European foreign ministers were meeting in Brussels on Monday in an attempt to preserve the deal, which the US abandoned unilaterally a year ago leading to an accelerating reciprocal withdrawal by Iran. Fariba Adelkhah, a prominent researcher in anthropology and social sciences based at the Paris political institute Sciences Po, is believed to have been arrested in June. The French foreign ministry said it had not yet been given satisfactory information on the status of Adelkhah, who is seen as one of France's top academics on Iran. France calls on the Iranian authorities to shed full light on Mrs Adelkhah's situation and repeats its demands, particularly with regard to an immediate authorisation for consular access. The French authorities were recently informed of the arrest of Fariba Adelkhah, the foreign ministry said in a statement. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
