Fears grow for academic held in Iran
Concerns are growing over the fate of a respected French-Iranian academic a month after she was thrown into prison as the latest apparent hostage in Tehran’s conflict with the West.
Efforts led by President Macron have so far failed to elicit any explanation of the arrest or provide a French consular visit for Fariba Adelkhah, 60, an authority on Iran at the Sciences Po university in Paris. She was secretly arrested while working in Tehran last month and was jailed in the city’s notorious Evin prison.
Ms Adelkhah, an anthropologist, has joined Britain’s Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and about ten other dual nationals as pawns in a power game assumed to be led by the regime’s hardliners......
Tehran simply confirmed her arrest and said she was regarded as an Iranian citizen.
