N'DJAMENA, Chad (AP) - President Idriss Deby on Monday pardoned six French aid workers convicted of trying to smuggle 103 children out of Chad.
The six workers from the Zoe's Ark charity were sentenced to eight years in prison in Chad, but were later transferred to France to serve their sentences under a judicial agreement.
One of the six, Dominique Aubry, was shown on television smiling and walking out of a prison in Caen, Normandy, hours after the pardon was announced. The workers were jailed in different prisons around France, and it was unclear whether the others were freed.
