Iran urged Kenya Friday to immediately release two Iranians charged with collecting information for a "terrorist act" after filming the Israeli Embassy in Nairobi, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported.

The two Iranian nationals and their Kenyan driver were arrested in a car belonging to the Iranian Embassy Tuesday.

The diplomatic status of the two Iranians was unclear.

Tasnim said the Kenyan ambassador to Tehran was summoned Thursday by the Iranian Foreign Ministry over the arrest and that the "necessity for the immediate release of the two Iranians was underlined during the meeting."

In 2013, a Kenyan court jailed two Iranians for life on terrorism-related charges, including possession of explosives. The sentence was reduced to 15 years on appeal.
