Oman Mediates Iran-Sweden Prisoner Swap

Reported 8 months ago

Iran and Sweden conducted a prisoner exchange on the 15th with Oman's mediation, where Sweden released a former Iranian official convicted of participating in the large-scale killing of political prisoners in the 1980s, and Iran released two Swedish nationals in return. The Swedish Prime Minister stated that Iran used the two Swedish detainees as bargaining chips to secure the release of the former Iranian official, although Sweden chose to prioritize the freedom and reunion of its citizens with their families.
