Iran says freed Danish prisoner, two Iranians on humanitarian grounds

  • Iran says freed Danish prisoner, two Iranians on humanitarian grounds

Iran has released a jailed Danish citizen in lieu for freedom of two Iranian nationals, Iranian Deputy Judiciary Chief Kazzem Gharibabadi announced.

HCHR_ Massoud Mosaheb and Kamran Ghaderi who have spent 54 months and 90 months, respectively in Demark's prisons were freed in exchange for freedom of a Danish national who was released on humanitarian grounds, Gharibabadi said.

In a related news last Friday, Assadollah Assadi, a former Iranian diplomat imprisoned in Belgium on false charges, returned home after five years on Friday.

Belgian police arrested Assadi in June 2018, accusing him of plotting an attack against the MKO terrorist organization, a claim that has been strongly rejected by the former diplomat and Iranian authorities.

A Belgian court then sentenced Assadi, who had served as the third counselor at Iran's Embassy in Vienna, to 20 years in prison.

Iran had repeatedly condemned the violation of Assadi's diplomatic immunity and made every effort to secure his release in negotiations with Belgian authorities.
