Hamid Noury ​​is sentenced to life in prison for murder and violations of international law in Iran.

- There was a massive emotional cheer when the verdict fell, says TV4's reporter Noah Toth who is on site outside Stockholm District Court.

- I'm one of those who survived the massacre. When I heard that he was sentenced to life in prison, I began to cry because I thought of the 30,000 political prisoners who were executed in a short time in 1988, says Mehri Emrani.

Noury ​​worked in the prison where hundreds, if not thousands of executions took place. He is the first to be tried for crimes committed by the Iranian dictatorship and has always denied crimes.

Therefore, the case has been tried in Sweden

The trial has been one of the largest of its kind in Sweden, with 92 hearing days in Stockholm District Court where about 70 plaintiffs and witnesses from different parts of the world testified about, among other things, their experiences as prisoners in Gohardasht prison outside Iran in the 80s.

The case has been tried here, even though Noury ​​is an Iranian citizen and the suspected crimes were committed in Iran, as Sweden applies the principle of universal jurisdiction. It gives a state the right to try a person from another part of the world when the suspicions concern serious international crimes.

Prosecutors say the executions took place as part of Iran's war against Iraq, as the political group with which many of the executed prisoners sympathized is said to have collaborated with Iraq. Hamid Noury's defense, on the other hand, has claimed that the executions cannot be linked to the war - and that Sweden therefore did not have the right to try the case.
