Iran releases dual German national

Jan 14, 2025

Tehran [Iran], January 14: Iran has released a dual German national as its diplomats held more consultations with European counterparts on sanctions and how to manage ramped-up tensions.
Iranian-German rights activist Nahid Taghavi was released from prison in Iran and is back in Germany, according to her daughter Mariam Claren, who posted a picture of herself and her mother on X on Monday.
The Iranian judiciary and the Foreign Ministry did not immediately comment on her release.
The 70-year-old was arrested in Iran's capital, Tehran, in October 2020 and sentenced to 10 years in prison after being convicted of forming a group "with the purpose of disrupting national security" and "spreading propaganda against the establishment".
