STOCKHOLM (Reuters) – A Swedish appeals court on Tuesday upheld a guilty verdict and life sentence given to a former Iranian official convicted last year for his part in a mass execution of political prisoners in Iran in 1988.
In 2022, the Stockholm District Court ruling found Hamid Noury guilty of murder and serious crimes against international law.
The case has caused a deep rift between Sweden and Iran, which said the initial verdict was politically motivated.
