In a phone conversation with her Iranian counterpart Hossein Amir-Abdollahian on Saturday, Lahbib commended Iran's humanitarian move to release one Dane and two Austrian-Iranian citizens and hoped it would open a new chapter in relations between Tehran and Brussels.
Secretary of Iran’s High Council for Human Rights and the Judiciary chief’s deputy for international affairs Kazem Gharibabadi said on Friday the country freed the three prisoners on humanitarian grounds.
He identified the two Iranian nationals as Masoud Mosaheb and Kamran Ghaderi, who had served most of their terms, 4.5 and 7.5 years, respectively. The Judiciary official did not name the Danish individual.
They were released few days after Assadollah Assadi, an Iranian diplomat detained in Belgium on false terror-related charges, was freed following an Omani-brokered deal.
Pointing to Iran's rich history and civilization, the Belgian minister expressed hope to travel to Tehran at an appropriate time.
