Mali's military junta, led by transitional president Assimi Goita, granted a presidential pardon on Thursday to Yann Vezilier, a French citizen and diplomat attached to the French Embassy in Bamako. Vezilier had been serving a 20-year prison sentence following a conviction for conspiring against the security of the state.
The conviction stemmed from Vezilier's alleged involvement in a 2025 plot alongside several Malian military personnel. The granting of the pardon marks a significant development in the legal status of the French diplomat within the country.
