Dutch national and two people with Austrian-Iranian nationality exchanged for Iranian diplomat Asadollah Assadi
Three more Europeans have been released by Iran in return for Iranian diplomat Asadollah Assadi as part of a prisoner swap in which Iran released Belgian aid worker Olivier Vandecasteele last week, a spokesperson for the Belgian government said.
In a statement, the Belgian government said that the Danish person was arrested in Iran in November 2022 in connection with women’s rights demonstrations. Mosaheb is the co-chairman of the Iranian-Austrian Friendship Society and had been sentenced to 10 years in prison for espionage, while Ghaderi is a businessman who was also sentenced to 10 years for espionage.
After a stop in Oman and medical tests, the three will be flown to Belgium’s military airport in Melsbroek. They are expected to arrive late Friday night or early on Saturday morning.
