STOCKHOLM — Sweden and Iran carried out a prisoner exchange on Saturday, Sweden freeing a former Iranian official convicted for his role in a mass execution in the 1980s while Iran released two Swedes being held there, Reuters reported.
The prisoner swap was mediated by Oman, the country’s foreign ministry said in a statement.
“Omani efforts resulted in the two sides agreeing on a mutual release, as those released were transferred from Tehran and Stockholm,” it said.
Sweden had freed convicted former Iranian official Hamid Noury, Iran’s top human rights official said on X. Noury, who had been convicted for his part in a mass execution of political prisoners in Iran in 1988, would be back in Iran in a few hours, the official added.
