Iran's top rights official calls for release of detainee in France
“Yesterday, I spoke with his spouse and the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; we’re determined to defend our compatriots. This Iranian national must be freed as soon as possible,” he said.
The official was referring to Bashir Biazar, an Iranian journalist residing in France who was summoned and subsequently detained by the police recently.
Biazar has been vocal in his support for the Palestinian cause and in bringing attention to the injustices perpetrated by Israel.
The French police have not commented on his arrest yet.
