INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
TEHRAN- Nasser Kanaani, the spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, has strongly blasted as unacceptable a Swedish court's decision to
sentence former Iranian official Hamid Nouri to life in prison based on unsubstantiated claims made by the terrorist Mujahedin-e-Khalq
Organization (MKO).
In a statement released on Thursday, Kanaani vehemently denounced the political statement made by the Swedish court,
which made "baseless and fabricated" accusations against the Islamic Republic of Iran, its judicial system, and the life sentence given to
Nouri.The Swedish court made accusations against Iran's judicial system and accused Nouri of taking part in the murders of imprisoned
Nouri has vehemently denied the accusation.In November 2019, Nouri was detained immediately as he landed in Sweden at the Stockholm
being accountable to the Iranian people for allowing a terrorist cult to be active in the country and for violating its international
spokesman expressed deep regret that Sweden, despite having a good history of relations with Iran, had succumbed to the malicious objectives
of MKO's propaganda, made its judicial system serve the criminal goals of the group, and effectively engaged in whitewashing terrorism
He was referring to the atrocities committed by the MKO terrorists against the people of Iran and Iraq.According to Kanaani, the MKO's
today's hysteria in Stockholm, along with the anti-Iran media's focus and pressures close to the court where the judgment was given,
to a doctor, he had been unable to fully read the text of the indictment issued by the prosecutor.Therefore, the treatment and imposed
Nouri are a blatant example of violating human rights by those who claim to advocate such rights," he noted.The MKO's falsehoods and
perjured witnesses were used as the basis for Nouri's illegitimate trial, according to the spokesperson, who also noted that the terrorist
cult had already made public the court's decision and insisted on enforcing the judgment in any way possible.The spokesman continued by
drawing attention to the unfair trial that took place in Sweden, asserting that, in spite of their pretense of independence, Swedish court
officials did not even permit Nouri to call witnesses and assert his legal rights because the court, in its 27th session, established a
direct video link with the MKO base in Albania after coordination with the Albanian prosecutor's office and provided the group with a
significant opportunity.In comparison to the time given to the plaintiffs for filing the action, he said, the Swedish judicial system only
the ruling of the court which lacks any legal jurisdiction and basis, Iran holds Sweden responsible for the damage caused to bilateral ties
