Majid Nouri released from Sweden prison: Embassy

TEHRAN, Apr. 01 (MNA) – The Iranian Embassy in Sweden in a message announced that Majid Nouri, son of the detained Iranian national Hamid Nouri was released from prison.

Earlier this week, Hamid Nouri's daughter took to the X social media platform to say that apparently her brother was arrested by the Swedish police while he was in Sweden to visit his father.

Hamid Nouri was arrested upon arrival at the Stockholm Airport in November 2019 and was immediately imprisoned on bogus charges.

He has been held in solitary confinement for over two years. Swedish prosecutors have requested the maximum penalty of life imprisonment for the former Iranian judiciary official, falsely accusing him of prisoner abuse in the 1980s.

The charges against Nouri stem from accusations leveled against him by members of the terrorist Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO).
