Minister for Foreign Affairs Maria Malmer Stenergard (The Moderate Party) has had a bilateral meeting with her Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi about the imprisoned Swedish-Iranian Ahmadreza Djalali.

In a comment to Expressen she states that she has repeated Sweden's demand that the doctor and researcher Ahmadreza Djalali be immediately released for humanitarian reasons.

The meeting with Araghchi was held in connection with the fact that world leaders have gathered in New York at the UN General Assembly.

Djalali has been imprisoned in Iran since 2016 and is sentenced to death. This summer, he was moved away from his fellow prisoners in connection with the war between Israel and Iran. Since then, neither his family nor Swedish representatives have received any sign of life from him, despite repeated demands for information about where he is and under what circumstances.

"I take a serious view of the fact that Iran has not yet provided us with the requested information. This I have personally pointed out in conversations with Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi here in New York", writes Malmer Stenergard to the newspaper.
