the state of health of the two freed hostages is worrying

“The two ex-hostages have already been examined in Iran on their release from detention in a hospital, but these examinations will continue on French soil very quickly, because they are both very weakened by their detention”reports journalist Matthieu Boisseau, live from Le Bourget (Seine-Saint-Denis), Friday, May 12.

No official ceremony

Benjamin Brière had been on a hunger strike for over 100 days. According to his lawyer, “there was a vital risk”. As for his sister, she indicates that Benjamin Brière “could be taken to the hospital straight out of the airport”, he continues. Bernard Phelan, 64, is also diminished. “He too went on a hunger strike for a time, and he suffered from health problems which worsened in prison”, adds the journalist. There will therefore be no official ceremony for their return to French soil.
