Hamid Nouri lands, with flowers and more flowers, in the Iranian capital of Tehran, convicted in Sweden two years ago. Likewise, he has been received with tears and hugs, but this “hero” is one of the officials who was behind the torture and mass executions against opponents of the regime in 1988.

A crime against humanity for which Sweden sentenced him to life imprisonment in Sweden in 2022. Now he has been released in exchange for the two Swedish prisoners that Iran was holding. “Iran has turned these two Swedes into pawns in a cynical game of negotiations aimed at getting the Iranian citizen Hamid Nouri be released in Sweden,” lamented the Swedish Prime Minister, Ulf Kristersson.

The same year as the conviction of Iranian Hamid Nouri, the regime arrested the man you see in the images above. Is about Johan Floderus, a European Union official who was accused of espionage. Just a year later another Swedish citizen was arrested: Saeed Azizi.

A case that the Swedish media and society have followed very closely. Even Roberta Metsola, the president of the European Parliament, called for Johan’s releasewho is now going to return home visibly deteriorated.
