Iran summoned the Norwegian ambassador – Latest news – news


7 November 2022 at 19:01 Reuters: Iran summoned the Norwegian ambassador Iran has summoned the Norwegian ambassador, Sigvald Hauge, to protest against what they call “intrusive comments” from Norway’s parliament president Masud Gharahkhani (Ap). This is reported by the Reuters news agency, which quotes state media. Norway’s ambassador was also called in on the carpet in September, after what Iran believed was interference in internal affairs. At the time, the background was that Gharahkhani, who is himself from Iran, reacted strongly to the news that 22-year-old Mahsa Amini had died in police custody in Iran. The death has led to large demonstrations in Iran. In the informal meeting of the UN Security Council last week, Norway gave full support to the protesters’ demand that the Iranian regime respect human rights.
