On Thursday, July 23rd, the judge and jury of the Stockholm District Court, after nine months of review, confirmed the life sentence for Hamid Nouri, who is accused of participating in the mass execution of political prisoners in the summer of 1988.
Hamid Nouri, known as “Hamid Abbasi,” a former deputy prosecutor at Gohardasht Prison, was tried in Sweden for nine months on two main charges of “international war crimes” and “premeditated murder.”
