Extradition of Iranian convicts was achieved as the result of efforts by Iranian Embassy in Baku, as well as the Ministry of Justice of Iran, based on a bilateral agreement on transferring convicted people in 1999.
The detainees, most of which have been sentenced for drug-related crimes and smuggling, will spend the rest of their period in Iranian prisons.
The extradition of the inmates was mulled at a meeting of the Iran’s Ambassador to Baku Mohsen Pak Ayeen and Azerbaijani Minister of Justice Fikrat Mammadov in Baku on March 1, 2017.
