Iran releases 15 Indian fishermen

Outer Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Monday said that Iran has discharged 15 Indian anglers who were confined with their Bahraini pontoons a year ago.

"I am glad to illuminate that Iran has discharged our 15 anglers from Tamil Nadu. They were kept with their 3 Bahraini water crafts," Ms.Swaraj said in a tweet.

She likewise expressed gratitude toward the Indian Embassy in Tehran, valuing their "great work" for encouraging the discharge.
