Iran claims that a Swiss national who passed away in custody had taken photos of military sites | Political News


The Iranian judiciary has stated that a Swiss national who died in an Iranian prison was arrested for espionage after taking photographs at sensitive military sites. The man, who entered Iran from Afghanistan last year, was found with technical equipment and was initially believed to be a tourist. However, he was later arrested for photographing restricted resources and cooperating with a hostile government. The man, who held Swiss citizenship and was born in Namibia, died by suicide in his cell by cutting off electricity. The Iranian authorities claim that attempts to revive him were unsuccessful. A delegation from the Swiss embassy confirmed the suicide and the body was handed over to them. The incident occurred in a prison in Semnan, a region known for its large military facilities, including satellite and ballistic missile testing sites. The Swiss government had previously confirmed the man’s death but did not provide details about the circumstances. The Iranian government maintains that the man took his own life while in custody. The case highlights the tensions between Iran and foreign nationals visiting the country, as well as the strict regulations regarding sensitive military sites.
