Iran frees five from UK embassy
Mon, 29th June, 2009 - Posted by
Five out of nine local staff from the UK embassy detained in Tehran have been released, Iranian officials say.
Iran’s media earlier said local employees at the UK mission were held over their role in protests against June’s disputed presidential election.
UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband has dismissed the allegations as baseless.
Separately, Iran’s top legislative body began a partial recount of the poll – a move rejected by defeated opposition candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi.
"Out of nine people, five of them have been released and the rest are being interrogated," Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hassan Ghashghavi said at a news conference, state television Press TV reported.
