Iranian authorities have released Austrian citizen Christian Weber, who was detained in Iran's West Azerbaijan Province. The release was reported by the Mizan news agency, reflecting a gesture of Islamic mercy.
Weber's detention was confirmed by Austria in 2022, although the charges were clarified as unrelated to the widespread protests following Mahsa Amini's death in custody.
After his release, Christian Weber was handed over to the Austrian ambassador in Tehran, who will facilitate his return to Austria.
The Iranian judiciary did not disclose the specific crimes for which Christian Weber was imprisoned, and inquiries to the Austrian Embassy yielded no response.
