No Answers for Ahmadreza Djalali's Family

Published: 2024-07-02

Ahmadreza Djalali, a Swedish-Iranian scientist, has been imprisoned in Iran since 2016 under allegations of espionage.

Recently, his wife, Vida Mehrannia, met with Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billström but received no new answers about efforts to free him.

Djalali's detention and death sentence have faced international criticism, but a recent prisoner exchange did not secure his release, stirring discontent among his family.

Djalali is currently on a hunger strike, raising concerns about his health.

Billström has reiterated that the Swedish government is closely following the case.
