Iran Press/ Asia: Following the consultations between Iran's Minister of Foreign Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and his Sri Lankan counterpart Ali Sabry in Tehran a few days ago, the release of the prisoners of the two countries in the near future was announced.
This opening has been done within the framework of humanitarian cooperation between the two countries and the efforts of Iran's embassy in Colombo, for the first time in the consular relations of the two countries.
Nine prisoners were sailors from Chabahar in Sistan and Baluchistan province, were released from the prisons by the order of the Sri Lankan authorities and handed over to the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Colombo.
These Chabahari sailors will soon return to their homeland and families thanks to the coordination of Iran's embassy.
Also, two Iranian prisoners will be transferred from Sri Lanka to Iran within the framework of the agreement on the transfer of convicts between the two countries, thanks to the efforts of Iran's Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Justice.
Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs considers the pursuit of amnesty, release and transfer of Iranian prisoners, and legal and consular support of Iranians abroad among its main programs and serious measures.
