Two-minute read<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n In a pivotal ruling, Sweden’s Supreme Court has declined to entertain an appeal from former Iranian prison official Hamid Noury, convicted for his involvement in the 1988 massacre of political prisoners within Iran’s prison system. The court’s decision upholds Noury’s life sentence, initially pronounced by a Swedish district court in July 2022.<\/p>\n Noury’s conviction centers on grave violations of international humanitarian law and murder committed during the harrowing events of the summer of 1988, where more than 30,000 political prisoners<\/a>, predominantly affiliated with the People’s Mujahedin of Iran (PMOI\/MEK), were executed following the regime’s acceptance of a ceasefire with Iraq.<\/p>\n Arrested at a Stockholm airport in November 2019, Noury stood trial under Sweden’s principle of universal jurisdiction, empowering the country to prosecute individuals for grave offenses regardless of where they occurred. Despite Noury’s persistent denial of the charges, dismissing them as fabricated, the appeals court upheld the initial verdict in December 2023.<\/p>\n Sweden\u2019s Supreme Court rejected the appeal by Hamid Noury, one of the criminals implicated in the 1988 massacre of political prisoners in #Iran<\/a>. His life sentence was confirmed. Now that the judicial process has ended, the regime will focus on hostage taking.
