Iran freed the last two of eight Slovaks who were arrested last May for spying against the Islamic Republic.

Official news agency, IRNA, reported on Thursday that “two who were arrestedfor violating the laws of the Islamic republic of Iran were released and handed over to their embassy."

The six other Slovaks were released in September.
In July, Iran's judiciary said it was probing nine people -- the eight Slovaks and one Iranian -- arrested for "illegal activities, including photographing restricted areas" in the central Isfahan province, which is home to nuclear facilities including the Natanz uranium enrichment site.

Isfahan is located some 330 kilometers south of the capital Tehran.
Senior Iranian prosecutor Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejeie asserted the men had smuggled in unspecified "equipment".

The Slovaks ran into trouble for using two-band walkie talkies banned in Iran, as well as cameras designed for extreme sports.
