Plea by wife of condemned man

Berlin – The wife of Iranian-Swedish citizen Ahmadreza Djalali, threatened with execution in Iran, on Saturday called on the European Union (EU) to secure her husband’s release.

“I hope the the EU can ... bring Ahmadreza home,” Vida Mehrannia said on Germany’s ZDF channel.

The EU must “not allow an innocent man to be killed in such an inhuman way”.

Djalali was sentenced to death in 2017 on the espionage charges, allegations denied by Sweden and his supporters. –
