MADRID: Iran´s embassy in Spain said on Sunday that it had released the last Spanish national detained in the country, a tourist who was arrested shortly after he entered the country in October 2022.
Santiago Sanchez Cogedor was held as protests were roiling Iran after the death in custody of the young Iranian Mahsa Amini, arrested for allegedly violating laws requiring women to cover their heads.
She fell into a coma after what her family said was mistreatment and died in hospital, sparking the unrest.
“The embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran is pleased to announce the release of Santiago Sanchez Cogedor, the only Spanish citizen detained in Iran,” the Iranian embassy in Spain posted on X.
“His release comes amid friendly and historic relations between the two countries and in accordance with the law,” the embassy added.
