Swedish police arrest Iranian prisoner’s son: Daughter
Sweden’s police have reportedly arrested the son of an Iranian prisoner, who has been sentenced to life in prison by Stockholm, based on complaints filed by notorious anti-Iran figures living in exile in the Nordic country.
“After [spending] hours with no information about my brother, who had gone to visit my father…, we realized that Majid has been apparently arrested by Sweden’s police,” Atieh Nouri, daughter of Hamid Nouri, said in a post on X on Friday.
“We still do not know anything about the details of the matter,” she added.
Nouri, a former Iranian judiciary official, was arrested in Sweden back in 2019.
He was put on trial on unfounded allegations levelled against him by elements representing the Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO) terrorist cult that has openly boasted about carrying out deadly terrorist operations against thousands of Iranian officials and civilians.
Nouri was handed the life sentence three years later after being found guilty of murder and crimes against the international law over his alleged role in executions of criminals in Iran in 1988.
Sweden’s Appeal Court upheld the verdict in December 2023.
Earlier in March, Sweden’s Supreme Court also upheld the sentence, refusing to hear an appeal it had been submitted by the Iranian prisoner.
Iranian authorities say Nouri’s imprisonment and trial in Sweden is politically-motivated, noting that the case has been influenced by pressure and propaganda of anti-Iran groups and individuals living in the West.
Nouri, himself, has vehemently denied the charges brought against him in the case, calling them fabricated.
