Olivier Grondeau, one of the three French hostages held in Iran, was released on Thursday, March 20. While this is a relief for Noémie Kohler, she remains deeply concerned about the lack of progress in her sister Cécile’s case.
French President Emmanuel Macron made the unexpected announcement on Thursday, March 20: Olivier Grondeau, one of the three prisoners accused of espionage by Iran—whom the president has referred to as “hostages”—has returned to France. A positive outcome that Noémie Kohler, the sister of Cécile, still hopes for. Cécile, a teacher from Soultz (Haut-Rhin), remains in captivity along with her partner, Jacques Paris.
