💨 Abstract

France plans to file a complaint against Iran at the International Court of Justice on Friday for allegedly violating the consular protection rights of two detained French citizens, Cecile Kohler and Jacques Paris. The pair has been held in Iran for three years in conditions France describes as torturous, without adequate consular access. Iranian officials dispute these claims. The couple was reportedly shown on state TV confessing to espionage, which France denies.
