Australian bloggers Jolie King and Mark Firkin have been released from jail in Iran, Foreign Affairs Minister Marise Payne has announced.
Ms Payne added that all criminal charges had been dropped.
The couple went missing around 14 weeks ago. The travel bloggers from Perth had been locked up for reportedly flying a drone, used to capture footage for their popular videos. Jolie King, a building designer, and Mark Firkin, an Australian construction manager were being held in a prison north of Tehran-Evin Prison. Picture: Supplied.The pair left Perth in July 2017 in a Toyota LandCruiser bound for the UK, planning to travel for two years driving across 36 countries.
“Our biggest motivation behind making the vlogs is to hopefully inspire anyone wanting to travel, and also try to break the stigma around travelling to countries which get a bad wrap in the media,” they said in a post on crowd-funding platform Patreon.
