Sweden’s Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said that the Nordic country demanded that Iran immediately release Swedish EU employee Johan Floderus from prison, Reuters reports.
Kristersson told a news conference that Floderus, who was arrested in Iran in 2022, was arbitrarily detained.
Iran on Sunday said it had begun a trial of the Swedish national, charged with spying for Israel and “corruption on earth,” a crime that carries the death penalty.
