Sweden advises in opposition to journey to Iran as contentious trial verdict looms

STOCKHOLM: Sweden’s overseas ministry has suggested its residents in opposition to touring to Iran forward of the conclusion of a trial that has soured relations between the 2 international locations.
“As a result of safety scenario, the Ministry of Overseas Affairs advises in opposition to all journey to Iran,” the ministry mentioned in a press release.
Relations between the 2 international locations soured after Sweden placed on trial a former Iranian official on costs of conflict crimes for the mass execution and torture of political prisoners at an Iranian jail within the Eighties. The decision is due on July 14.
