Christian Weber, the Austrian citizen apprehended in Iran's West Azerbaijan Province, has been released following an announcement by Iranian judiciary's Mizan news agency, emphasizing considerations of Islamic mercy.
Austria previously acknowledged in 2022 that one of its citizens was detained in Iran, clarifying that the charges against him were unrelated to the widespread protests following Mahsa Amini's tragic death.
While Mizan news agency reported on Weber's release to the Austrian ambassador, it notably did not disclose the specific crime that led to his imprisonment, leaving many questions unanswered.
In Tehran, the release was managed smoothly with Weber being handed over to the Austrian ambassador, indicating a diplomatic resolution amidst concerns for citizens detained abroad.
