Iranian authorities announced the release of Christian Weber, an Austrian citizen, detained for unspecified crimes in Iran's West Azerbaijan Province, now returned to Austria's ambassador.
The Mizan news agency reported that Weber's release was granted in the spirit of Islamic mercy, though the specific charges leading to his arrest remained undisclosed.
Austria confirmed that Weber's detainment was unrelated to the protests following the death of Mahsa Amini, indicating potentially separate political motivations for his arrest.
The situation underscores the complexities involved in diplomatic relations, especially considering the ongoing unrest in Iran and the implications for foreign nationals detained therein.
