Nazak Afshar, former employee of the French Embassy in Tehran, who was arrested at the airport last week, was transferred to the Evin women’s ward.
The judge set a 500-million-touman bail for her release but because of bureaucratic delay, her release is not going to take place before the new Iranian year and she has to spend her New Year in prison.
Ms. Afshar had returned home to visit her severely ill mother.
