An Iranian British Council worker was sentenced to 10 years in prison for "spying", the Iranian judiciary's news website Mizan Online reported on Monday, triggering concern from the British foreign office.
A woman "in charge of the Iran desk" at the British Council, accused of "cooperating with English spying agencies", made a "straightforward confession" to the charges and was later charged, judiciary spokesman Gholamhossein Esmaili said.
The suspect had allegedly been tasked with managing cultural "infiltration" projects and was arrested by Iranian intelligence agencies more than a year ago, according to Esmaili.

The week-long educational seminar marks the first delegation under the auspices of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the U.S. Conference of Mayors and AJC, the highlight of which is an annual mayors’ delegation to Israel.
Organized by AJC Project Interchange, the seminar is designed to further enhance U.S.-Israel relations at the important municipal level. This delegation is chaired by Los Angeles, California Mayor Eric Garcetti. AJC CEO David Harris joined the Mayors’ Delegation for their opening dinner.
