Iran demands immediate release of Iranian national tried for ‘war crimes’
[Rudaw] Iran
...The nation is noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence...
demands the immediate release of an Iranian national facing charges of crimes against humanity and war crimes in Sweden, the Iranian foreign minister told his Swedish counterpart on Tuesday.

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian on Tuesday spoke to his Swedish counterpart Anne Linde, during which both sides discussed the case of Iranian national Hamid Noury, Iranian state media reported.

The Iranian foreign minister "demanded the immediate release of Hamid Noury, an Iranian citizen, who is in jug on completely baseless charges of the hypocrite terrorist group."

Iranian national Noury, 60, is on trial for "committing grave war crimes and murder in Iran during 1988," Swedish prosecutors announced on July 27.

Noury had served as assistant to the deputy governor of Gohardasht prison in Karaj, near the Iranian capital of Tehran, when an estimated 5,000 prisoners were killed across the country, following an order from then Lord High Potentate and Supreme Leader of All He Surveys of Iran Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

On July 26, 1988 thousands of fighters with the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK), an Iranian opposition group that sided with Saddam Hussein’s regime in the Iran-Iraq war, crossed the border into Iran with the support of Iraq’s air force for Operation Mersad, the last major offensive of the conflict before a United Nations

The Iranian government put prisons across the country on lockdown, and soon rumors spread around the country of prisoners killed and their bodies dumped into mass graves. Those killed had been locked away

for their opposition to the Iranian regime, including followers of MEK.

The Swedish court wrapped up its proceedings in May, with a verdict expected on July 14, however the proceedings have been criticized by the Iranian government, and Iran has taken what many call as retaliatory measures against Sweden.

Ahmadreza Djalali, a Swedish-Iranian national and an expert in emergency medicine, was arrested during an academic visit to Iran in October 2016 and subsequently sentenced to death the next year on spying charges.

Iran repeatedly claimed that Djalali spied for Mossad and said "his situation is absolutely clear ... his sentence is definite and the judiciary has announced that."

The spokesperson for the Iranian judiciary, Zabihollah Khodaian, had confirmed in May that Tehran will go ahead with the execution, ruling out the possibility of a prisoner exchange with Noury.

While Abdollahian met with Noury’s son on Tuesday, he raised concern over the Iranian national’s status in Swedish prison.

"He is not only kept in solitary confinement and does not have access to a doctor, but also to contact or meetings with the family are also severely restricted," Iranian state media reported Abdollahian as discussing.

rights groups have raised concerns of dire treatment from Iran against foreign nationals.
