The French Government denies reports that they negotiated the release of a French Teacher who took pictures of a demonstration in Iran. She arrived in a Paris air base today back from Iran. The Teacher was sentenced to ten years in prison for espionage but the penalty was reduced to a fine of 300,000 dollars. Which they paid so he could return home. She was arrested July 1st after being in Iran for a 6 week teaching stint. While being in Iran he attend a demonstration about the election and took picture of a clash between parties. After being in Prison his bail was posted and he was allowed to spend the rest of his sentence in the embassy.
