Iranian citizen abducted from Saudi by U.S.

TEHRAN, Dec. 8 (MNA) – Iran’s citizen Shahram Amiri who was kidnapped on a pilgrimage visit to Saudi Arabia last May has been abducted from the Saudi Arabia’s soil by Washington, the Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Tuesday.


Amiri, a researcher at the University of Malek Ashtar, was kidnapped in Saudi Arabia while visiting the country as a pilgrim.


The U.S. is accused of abducting Iranian citizens, Ramin Mehmanparast told reporters at his first weekly press briefing.


The Foreign Ministry has done everything in its capacity to obtain the release of the Iranian nationals in captivity abroad, the spokesman said, adding so far four Iranian nationals have been released.


Several Iranian nationals have gone missing while on trips abroad.


“A number of 11 individuals have been abducted directly by the U.S. or its agents across the globe,” Mehmanparast declared.
