Sweden has summoned Iran’s ambassador to convey its objections to Iran’s handling of the deadly protests.
Sweden’s Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard said in a post on X that the Iranian envoy was called in to protest, “Iran’s deadly violence against peaceful protesters and widespread arbitrary detentions”.
“The Iranian people’s right to express their views and to demonstrate must be respected”, she added, calling for internet access in the country to be restored.
