Freed French academic Clotilde Reiss arrives home from Iran - 16 May 2010

Clotilde Reiss, 24, was accused of aiding a Western plot to topple Irans clerical regime after taking part in anti-government demonstrations last June following the disputed re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Her lawyer said on Saturday that a court had sentenced her to parallel 5-year prison terms, but commuted this to a fine of $285,000, letting her leave the country, much to the relief of France which had always proclaimed her innocence.
