Iran detains Swedish tourist travelling with group: Sweden
A Swedish citizen travelling as a tourist has been detained in Iran in the latest incident to worsen relations between the two countries.
In a brief comment by email, Sweden’s foreign ministry said on Friday that the man was in his 30s and that the embassy in Tehran was “seeking information and is in contact with local authorities”.
Iranian authorities did not immediately acknowledge the arrest. Neither Iran’s judiciary nor its mission to the United Nations responded immediately to requests for comment.
Sweden’s Aftonbladet tabloid wrote on Thursday evening that the man was arrested as he was about to leave Iran, where he was travelling with other Swedes. No date for the arrest was given.
