A Swedish court condemned a former Iranian official to life in jail on Thursday for his involvement in the 1980s killing of political detainees in Iran.
For the 1988 mass killing and torture of political detainees at the Gohardasht prison in Karaj, Iran, Hamid Noury, who was apprehended at a Stockholm airport in 2019, was charged with war crimes.
