#1 Repellent as some Iranian officials are - I don't believe it's Sweden's business to try people for crimes that occurred outside Sweden and didn't involve Swedish citizens.

#2 Sweden’s principle of universal jurisdiction means that its courts can try a person on serious charges such as murder or war crimes regardless of where the alleged offenses took place.

I had wondered why this trial was taking place in Sweden. Now I know. Pope Boniface, call your office. Apparently Sweden has replaced you as the ruler of the world.
