Chad President Idriss Deby said he is willing to pardon the 6 French aid workers who were convicted of trying to fly 103 children from Chad to Europe.
They were originally sentenced to 8 years hard labor but they were flown home last December to serve the equivalent time in France.
On French radio Chad President said if France's government requested he would be willing to pardon them. On hearing this the French presidency sent the request immediately.
This new development comes as France is helping Chad fight a rebel offensive.
