Hamid Nouri being tortured in Sweden’s jail: Son

Tehran, IRNA – Iranian citizen Hamid Nouri's son says there are concerns over his father’s health condition because he has suffered torture and solitary confinement for three years. Majid Nouri, Hamid Nouri's son, told IRNA on Wednesday that his father was arrested by the Swedish police forces in October 2019 and was sent to a solitary confinement cell, adding that the judge wrote him in an email a couple of months ago that the restrictions had been lifted. Unfortunately, prison guards continue to restrict his father in spite of the fact that the judge ordered the lifting of limitations; so, Hamid Nouri is being kept in a solitary confinement cell yet and he cannot have any visit or contact with his family members, the son noted. Moreover, his father has been under torture, he said, adding that his eyes’ sight and hearing have been hurt due to being beaten during the imprisonment. My father is being under physical and spiritual torture in the prison, so the family is very worried about his health condition, the son added. A few months ago, Hamid Nouri in an audio file said that he had been tortured while in custody and was denied medical care despite suffering from eye problems. A Swedish court conducted a hearing based on the testimony of about 60 members of the terrorist organization MKO, who claimed that Nouri played the role of a prison guard nearly four decades ago. The court did not allow any of the witnesses to testify in favor of the Iranian citizen. Follow us on Twitter @IrnaEnglish
