A French hostage in Iran
January 30:
Stéphane Dudoignon, a researcher on Islam, was arrested in the province of Sistan-Baluchistan, in the southeast area of the country
Dudoignon was in this area in order to undertake research on the Sunni minority and religious schools in partnership with the Iranian university of Zahédan
After his arrest, Dudoignon was transferred to Zahédan, then flown to Tehran
He is currently in Teheran, where he is de facto on house arrest:
He is not authorized to leave the city and his passport has been confiscated
His wife is Iranian, so he is currently living with his family in-law in Tehran until he gets his passport back
