The arrested Iranian citizen in Sweden, Hamid Nouri, has broken the record of solitary confinement in the history of Sweden, according to media reports.
Hamid Nouri, Iranian prisoner sentenced to life imprisonment, is now the person with the highest rate of imprisonment in solitary confinement in Sweden; He has now spent 1,295 days (by the end of May) in a 7-square-meter cell and is separated from other prisoners, the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet Quoted Thomas Bodstrom, Hamid Nouri’s lawyer as saying.
According to the Swedish media, Bodstrom described Nouri as the most isolated prisoner in the history of Sweden.
Nouri has met his family several times in the past, but now he is not allowed to meet and contact them, he added.
"We had to spend a lot of time and energy for Nouri to even be allowed to talk to his Iranian lawyer, which is completely meaningless," he stated.
Hamid Nouri, an Iranian judicial employee, was detained in November 2019 upon arrival at Stockholm Airport.
The Swedish government has accused him of human rights violations based on allegations leveled against him by anti-Iran terrorist group, Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO).
Nouri along with Iranian authorities have rejected those accusations as false and politically-motivated.
