The Stockholm Court of Appeals’ life sentence handed to a former Iranian official illegally jailed in Sweden was wrong and very disappointing, according to his lawyer.

Hamid Nouri’s life sentence is a violation of human rights, says his lawyer, criticizing the Swedish government’s trial of the former Iranian official on false allegations.

A former Iranian official sentenced in Sweden to life in prison for his part in a mass execution of political prisoners in Iran will appeal against his conviction to the Supreme Court, his lawyer said on Thursday. Earlier this week, a Swedish appeals court upheld the guilty verdict and life sentence for murder and serious crimes against international law for former prison official Hamid Noury. "We will appeal to the Supreme Court," Noury's lawyer Thomas Bodstrom told Reuters.

The family of jailed Iranian citizen Hamid Nouri have once again been harassed by supporters of the terrorist Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO).

A new report says Hamid Nouri has broken the all-time record of solitary confinement in the history of Sweden.

The lawyer of an Iranian national illegally jailed in Sweden tells Press TV Swedish courts have no business trying a foreign national for an event taken place entirely outside of its jurisdiction.
