Swiss envoy summoned over U.S. abduction of Iranian national
TEHRAN, June 9 (MNA) – The Swiss ambassador to Tehran was summoned to the Foreign Ministry on Tuesday to hear Iran’s official objection to the adduction of Iranian scientist Shahram Amiri by U.S. intelligence agencies.
Iran has no diplomatic relations with the United States and the Swiss embassy protects U.S. interests in Tehran.
The documents proving Amiri’s abduction were also shown to the Swiss ambassador.
Iran said the U.S. has breached the international laws and conventions by kidnapping Amiri and called for his immediate release.
Shahram Amiri, a university researcher working for Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization, was kidnapped by American agents during a pilgrimage to the holy city of Medina last year.
Iran says Saudi Arabia has cooperated in Amiri’s abduction by handing him over to the United States.
In a footage showed on Iran’s TV on Monday, Amiri says he had been kidnapped and taken to the United States where he was tortured.
