US returns $15m Picasso painting to France after thwarting black market sale by Associated Press in Washington
Formal ceremony comes after La Coiffeuse was realised to be missing from Paris’ Museum of Modern Art in 2001 and seized in Newark, New Jersey last year
The US government has formally returned a painting by Pablo Picasso, valued at $15m (£9.6m), which had been stolen more than a decade ago from a Paris museum and seized by immigration officials late last year in New Jersey.
During a ceremony at the French embassy, Sarah Saldaña, director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), officially repatriated the abstract artwork, titled La Coiffeuse (The Hairdresser). It was signed over to Frédéric Doré, the Embassy of France’s deputy chief of mission.

No one who witnessed persecution of Leyla and Arif Yunus could doubt that this was a vicious campaign against independent opponents, says Tanya Lokshina
The court of grave crimes in Baku found leading Azeri activists, 59-year-old Leyla Yunus and her 60-year-old husband, Arif, guilty of swindling and tax evasion yesterday, and sentenced them to eight and seven-and-a-half years in prison respectively. I was in that courtroom as the verdict was read, and when the judge announced the sentence my first thought was that this was actually a death sentence. They are so ill and frail, several years in prison will surely kill them.
I remember Leyla Yunus from numerous international conferences – a handsome, middle-aged woman with a proud bearing. The woman sitting in the glass cage not far from me was a shadow of her former self, emaciated, worn out, her face pale and yellow. I could not see her husband as Arif Yunus was unable to sit up. He spent that 90 minutes that the verdict was being read out lying on a bench in the glass case, with his head cradled on his wife’s lap.
