BRUSSELS, Jan 6 (KUNA) -- Belgian foreign minister Steven Vanackere
announced
Wednesday the return to Belgium this morning of three Belgians who were
detained for several months in Iran.
Vanackere in a statement expressed his delight over the happy outcome of
the case and thanked the parents and the friends of the three Belgians for
their patience and their useful collaboration.
The discretion showed by the Belgian press in this affair also proved to be
very significant, he noted.
Tehran released the three Belgians in December who had been arrested two
months
earlier for entering a no-entry zone in Iran. (end)
