The Iranian judiciary's Mizan news agency reported that Austrian citizen Christian Weber was released to his ambassador in Tehran, following his detention in West Azerbaijan Province.
This release was framed as an act of 'Islamic mercy,' although Mizan did not clarify the specific charges that led to Weber's detention in Iran.
Austria previously stated that the charges against Weber were unrelated to the protests sparked by Mahsa Amini's death, emphasizing a different context for the arrest.
The handover of Weber signals diplomatic engagement but raises questions as calls to the Austrian Embassy for clarification went unanswered, highlighting potential communication gaps.
