France's presidency says a young French academic arrested in Iran following last year's disputed presidential elections has left the country and is on a plane returning home.
Clotilde Reiss was convicted of provoking unrest and spying in the aftermath of Iran's June election, but the 10-year jail term was commuted to a fine of 3 billion rials (Dh2.94bn). Her lawyer said he paid the fine yesterday.
France's presidency says Ms Reiss boarded a French government plane in Dubai and is en route to France. On her return later today she is to meet President Nicolas Sarkozy.
The 25-year-old was among more than 100 politicians, journalists and activists accused of trying to engineer a "velvet revolution" to overthrow the Islamic leadership. She pleaded innocent.
