French court frees man who killed ex-Iranian PM

None

A French court ordered the release on Tuesday of an Iranian who was serving a life sentence for the 1991 murder of Iran's last prime minister under the Shah, the convicted man's lawyer said.

 

The decision comes just two days after Iran freed a French teaching assitant accused of spying. Paris and Tehran have denied the two moves were connected. (Reuters)
