Iran dissidents praise 'groundbreaking' Macron talks, urge action

Paris, France: Iranian women dissidents who met President Emmanuel Macron praised the talks on Saturday (Sunday in Manila) as a historic move from Paris, while urging France to lead concrete action against the Islamic republic.

Macron had on Friday held a previously unpublicized meeting with four prominent women campaigners as anti-regime protests sweep Iran over the death of Mahsa Amini who had been arrested by the morality police.
