Acting Deputy for International Affairs of the Judiciary and Human Rights Headquarters and Deputy for Legal and International Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reacted to the statement of the US Department of Justice about an Iranian citizen imprisoned in Iraq, and said that the arrest of Mohammad Reza Noori is one of the examples of arbitrary arrest.
Kazem Gharibabadi published a message on X channel and wrote that the claims and accusations of the US Department of Justice against Mohammed Reza Noori, an Iranian national imprisoned in Iraq, are without proof and valid documents and lack legal basis and justification; Mr. Noori's arrest is one of the examples of arbitrary arrest.
"We consider it our inherent duty to protect the rights of Iranian nationals around the world, and we will continue our diligent efforts to defend and support the rights of this Iranian national and return him to his homeland and to the arms of his family," he added.
