French-Iranian academic Fariba Adelkhah, who is detained in Iran since June 2019, has been temporarily released from prison, her lawyer told AFP.
Adelkhah is currently staying with her family in Tehran and has an electronic bracelet to control her movements, the lawyer, Saeed Dehghan, added.
She was sentenced on May 16 to five years in prison for "gathering and conspiring against national security".
Early in June, France's President Emmanuel Macron said Adelkhah had been "arbitrarily arrested" and called her detainment "unacceptable".
The security forces have not set a date for her return to prison.
"We have not yet been given a date for her return to prison, but we hope that this temporary release will become final," Dehghan added.
