Iran Press/ Iran News: "Hamid Nouri," an Iranian citizen, was arrested by Sweden's security forces on November 9, 2019, upon his arrival to Sweden to follow up on family issues, and he has been in prison for 30 months.
After his arrest, against all international laws, Nouri was not allowed to contact his family for four months, and the Swedish judicial system also did not allow Nouri, who is kept in solitary confinement, to meet his family in person for two years. This is while his family traveled to Sweden several times to meet him, but it was not possible to meet him.
Kazem Gharibabadi, Vice-President of the Judiciary for International Affairs and Secretary of the I.R. of Iran's High Council for Human Rights, in a letter addressed to the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, demanded that the Swedish government be held accountable for the illegal arrest and trial and gross violation of the human rights of Hamid Nouri, an Iranian citizen imprisoned in this country and called for his immediate release and compensation for the spiritual and material losses.

Gharibabadi, in a letter to Michelle Bachelet, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, regarding the poor situation of Iranian citizens in prison in Sweden, wrote:" I express my deep concern about the gross violations of human rights against Hamid Nouri in Sweden."
Gharibabadi added: "The Swedish prosecutor issued an arrest warrant for Nouri without conducting a comprehensive investigation, and the basis of this request was only the false statements and memories of several members of the terrorist group of MKO. Therefore, the Swedish authorities violated the principle of innocence and clearance and the right to freedom of movement for this Iranian citizen.
In this letter, it is stated that since the arrest of Nouri, this Iranian citizen has been in solitary confinement, which indicates an arbitrary arrest without valid and documented reasons.
