Sweden “intensifies restrictions” on Iranian citizens held in prison
The Iranian national, Hamid Nouri, told his wife in a brief phone call allowed Monday after a month of detention that he was still being held in solitary confinement, had no access to a doctor or his lawyer and was even denied access. the translated script of the judgment against him.
Nouri told his wife that his notes and books had been removed from his cell and that he was now even denied the right to read.
He emphasized that he had absolutely no access to his lawyer.
The Swedish government has not yet commented on this.
A Swedish court handed down the life sentence against Nouri in July, after 93 trial sessions in which 50 people participated as plaintiffs and witnesses, all members of the terrorist group Mojahedin-e-Khalq or their relatives.
Nouri was arrested in Sweden in 2019. Iran has demanded his immediate release and compensation for the damage caused by his illegal detention.
The Mojahedin-e-Khalq group is responsible for the deaths of thousands of Iranians in terrorist attacks in Iran after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The group had been on the US blacklist of terrorist organizations for decades but was delisted under former President Barack Obama.
