The news came very late, Thursday June 12. In a tweet, Emmanuel Macron, the President of the Republic, indicates: “Louis Arnaud is free. He will be in France tomorrow after too long incarceration in Iran. » The thirty-year-old, originally from Saône-et-Loire, was arbitrarily arrested in September 2022, during a trip around the world, a few months after the arrest of Nantes resident Jacques Paris, retired teacher from the Clemenceau high school in Nantes, and his partner Cécile Kohler, during a tourist stay.
