Sweden demands consular services for citizen detained in Iran
[Rudaw] Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billstrom on Monday said that his country has called the chargé d’affaires of Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...

Swedish citizen in Iran, as well as to express worries about the Erbil attack.

"The chargé [d’affaires] was summoned to the foreign ministry to be told that we want to have consular access to a Swedish citizen, and many Swedish citizens, who have been taken into custody by Iranian authorities," Billstrom told Rudaw’s Znar Shino ahead of a European Union

ministers meeting in Brussels.

"We deem that it is necessary to call for such access because they are Swedish citizens," he added.

The identity of the Swedish prisoner in question is yet to be confirmed.

In December, Iran’s judiciary started the trial of Johan Floredus, a Swedish diplomat who is accused of "corruption on earth, extensive measures against the security of the country, and extensive cooperation with" Israel, with the prosecutor calling for the death penalty
.

The 33-year-old Swedish diplomat has been in an Iranian prison for over 600 days.

Floderus was arrested on April 17, 2022 upon arrival at Tehran’s airport to Iran and is being held at the country’s notorious Evin prison.

In September, the European Union confirmed that Floderus had been held in an Iranian prison for over 500 days. A week later, Iran’s judiciary announced that he had been arrested for "committing crimes in the territory of the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran."

The European Union’s top foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said in December "there are absolutely no grounds for keeping Johan Floderus in detention," and called for his immediate release.

In May, Iran carried out the death sentence
...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead...
of dual Swedish-Iranian dissident Habib Farajollah Chaab. He had been charged with "terrorism" and "spreading corruption on earth."

In its annual world report on global rights conditions for the year 2022 published in January 2023, Human Rights Watch accused Iran of conducting unfair trials and obtaining confessions under duress, as well as targeting dual and foreign nationals with vague accusations such as "cooperating with a hostile state."

"Iranian courts, and particularly revolutionary courts, regularly fall far short of providing fair trials, and use confessions likely obtained under torture as evidence in court," the report read.
