Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kan'ani has confirmed that Hamid Nouri, a former Iranian judiciary official who had been illegally imprisoned in Sweden on politically motivated charges, has been released from prison and returned to Iran.
Kan'ani described Nouri's release from detention in Sweden as another manifestation of the Islamic Republic’s diplomacy in realizing and securing national interests and also firmly supporting the rights of Iranians.
He noted that Nouri's detention was based on a wrongful order by the Swedish court and that his release was achieved as a result of continuous political, legal and consular efforts of the diplomatic system, the judiciary and other relevant authorities in Iran.
The spokesman further noted that Nouri has returned to Iran after enduring 1,680 days of indescribable detention contrary to the basic principles of human rights.
The official also appreciated the continuous efforts of the late president Ebrahim Raeisi and foreign minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian towards securing Nouri's release.
Kan’ani also thanked the role of Oman in helping to facilitate the process, emphasizing that the Foreign Ministry will continue to work diligently for the release of other Iranian citizens abroad.
Earlier in the day, Iran’s top human rights official had announced that Nouri has been released from prison.
Kazem Gharibabadi, who serves as head of the Iranian Judiciary’s High Council for Human Rights, announced Nouri’s release in a post on his X account on Saturday.
"I am delighted to inform the esteemed nation of Iran that Mr. Hamid Nouri, who has been under detention in Sweden since 2019, has been released and will be returning to our country within a few hours," Gharibabadi said.
He also attributed this success to the efforts of his colleagues in the Judiciary, the Ministry of Intelligence, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, particularly the late foreign minister.
