In a meeting held on Saturday to commemorate the anniversary of the return of Iran’s prisoners of war on August 17, 1990, Raisi criticized those who claim to advocate human rights and said that they have shown that they do not adhere to accepted international laws as they have violated the immunity of diplomats on various occasions.
Meanwhile, Assadi presented a report on his unlawful imprisonment in Germany and Belgium.
Belgian police arrested Assadi in June 2018, accusing him of plotting an attack against the anti-Iran Mujahedin-e Khalq (MKO) terrorist organization. The charges have been strongly rejected by the former diplomat and Iranian authorities. A Belgian court then sentenced Assadi, who had served as the third counselor at the Iranian embassy in Vienna, to 20 years in prison.
Iran had repeatedly condemned the violation of Assadi's diplomatic immunity and made every effort to secure his release during months of negotiations with Belgian authorities.
