Iranian president meets diplomat convicted of bomb plot, freed by Belgium in swap
[IsraelTimes] Raisi says Western countries ’violated diplomatic immunity’ by imprisoning envoy convicted of planning to blow up Iranian opposition event in La Belle France

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has met with diplomat Assadollah Assadi, recently freed by Belgium in a high-profile prisoner swap case in May, the presidency’s site said Saturday.

"The claimants of human rights
One man's rights are another man's existential threat.
have shown once again that they do not adhere to any law," Raisi said in reference to Western countries during the meeting, which took place on Friday.

They "breached the international rules, regulations and principles by violating the diplomatic immunity of the Iranian diplomat in a clear and unprecedented manner," he added.

Assadi was sentenced in Belgium to 20 years in prison after he was convicted of playing a role in a plot to blow up an Iranian opposition event in 2018 outside Gay Paree.

He was liberated on May 26 in an Oman-mediated exchange that saw Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today 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. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
releasing Belgian aid worker Olivier Vandecasteele, incarcerated in Tehran for almost 15 months.

The exchange happened after months of heated debates in Belgium, especially in the country’s parliament.

The 42-year-old Belgian was sentenced in January to 40 years in prison and 74 lashes for "espionage," Tehran’s judiciary said at the time, after a trial his family and Belgian authorities dubbed "unfair." Iran often imprisons foreigners on spurious charges and uses them for diplomatic leverage.

Since May, Oman-mediated negotiations have facilitated the release of six European nationals from Iran while several others remain behind bars.
