STOCKHOLM, Aug 10 — About 100 demonstrators gathered outside a court in Stockholm today to protest against the Tehran government on the opening day of the trial of a 60-year-old Iranian suspected of war crimes and murder, Swedish news agency TT reported.
Noury and others “organised and participated in executions by selecting which prisoners should appear before a court-like commission, which had the job of deciding which prisoners should be executed”, prosecutor Kristina Lindhoff Carleson told the court, according to TT. Under Swedish law, courts can try Swedish citizens and other nationals for crimes against international law committed abroad.
Raisi, when asked about the allegations, told reporters after his election in June that he had defended national security and human rights.
