E-mailDUBAI, July 14 (Reuters) - Fifty-five Iranian fishermen have been freed from custody in the United Arab Emirates, Iran's embassy there said on its Telegram channel on Tuesday.
The fishermen were detained by the UAE's coast guard in recent months due to "special conditions" in the region, the embassy added, in a likely reference to the Iran war. The process to send them home had started, the embassy said.
