A French judge has dropped his warrant for the arrest of Ivory Coast's speaker of parliament, Guillaume Soro, his lawyers say.
The judge lifted the warrant following proof he is on official business in Paris, giving him diplomatic immunity, they add.
The arrest warrant was for not turning up to a 2012 Paris court case brought by ex-Ivorian President Laurent Gbagbo's son.
Michel Gbagbo accuses Mr Soro's forces of kidnapping and torturing him, which he denies.
