What does Sweden gain from the arrest of "Hamid Nouri"?

"Hamid Nouri", an Iranian citizen and a former employee of the judiciary, who traveled to Sweden in November 2018, was arrested by the police of this country upon his arrival at Stockholm airport, and has been in solitary confinement ever since. The process of arresting and handling the case of Hamid Nouri is in a way that creates the impression that Hamid Nouri's issue is more than a judicial case, it is a political issue that Sweden has involved itself in and Prime Minister Olaf Kristerson should be seen. Sweden will enter the case or not. In the prison, events have happened and are happening that Hamid Nouri's lawyer had no choice but to disclose in the court hearing. The interesting thing here is the comparison between the arrest in Sweden in 2023 and the arrest in Iran in 1361. Mr. Nouri's lawyer said during his speech on Tuesday, May 26, during the 10th session of the Court of Appeal, that the plaintiffs' lawyer spoke about the executed people. He said that his client's brother spent 2 and a half years in prison without being tried. Meanwhile, Mr. Noori has been in detention for more than 3 years and Andy has to endure the ill-treatment that is being done to him. He then mentions several cases of how the authorities of the detention center and the police are involved in the failure of effective defense by his client. What emerges from Mr. Nouri's lawyer's statements is that there are hands at work in the detention center and in the police department so that Hamid Nouri cannot defend himself effectively. According to the lawyer, all the documents that should reach Hamid Nouri have not arrived. According to him, although the documents claimed by the prosecutor should have reached Hamid Nouri, he has not yet received these documents. Indeed, why should the police, detention center authorities and the prosecutor prevent Hamid Nouri from accessing the documents related to his case? All these officials and people are on the other side of Mr. Nouri's case. In fact, this case has two sides: the Swedish government represented by the prosecutor and Hamid Nouri. This is not the first time that Hamid Nouri's documents are lost or taken from him in prison. This is an issue that the Swedish government and especially the judiciary must answer. In such a situation, when the client cannot read the documents of the case, how can he defend himself? Some may answer that lawyers defend him. The fact is that this case is based on statements, information and documents that are all in Persian language. Therefore, first Mr. Noori should read these documents and documents and then adapt to what he knows and be able to consult with his lawyers to defend himself against them. After that, lawyers should present arguments and legal documents based on their statements and findings. Meanwhile, they have taken all his papers, laptop and iPad. They do not have access to file documents. In addition, Hamid Nouri has vision problems and he does not have access to an ophthalmologist. As a result, even if the papers and documents of the case are provided to him, it will be very difficult for Hamid Nouri to study them. Finally, it must be said that Hamid Nouri's harsh conditions in the cell and his lack of communication with the outside world have also faced him with serious problems from a mental point of view. Arguing that they cannot control Hamid Nouri's conversations, the authorities of the detention center do not allow him to talk to his family on the phone. In addition, when his family members cannot meet him, he will certainly not be in a suitable condition mentally to study the documents and papers of the case and as a result defend himself. This is why Hamid Nouri's lawyer says in the appeals court, "There is no possibility of defense in such a situation." In other words, whether there is a lawyer or not does not make much difference here, because when the client does not have access to the documents related to his case, even in his cell, the lawyers cannot defend him.
