Envoy: Kuwait to transfer 22 prisoners to Iran

Iran’s Ambassador to Kuwait Mohammad Tootoonchi says the Iranian government has convinced the Kuwaiti side to let 22 Iranian nationals jailed in  the Arab sheikhdom be transferred to their country to serve the remainder of their prison term.

Tootoonchi added that efforts are afoot to pursue the matter.

He made those remarks in a post on X.

Earlier, an official at Iran’s Judiciary said 19 Iranian prisoners were repatriated to Iran by Iraq’s Kurdistan region as part of efforts by both sides to expand their legal and judicial cooperation.

The Kurdistan region has already transferred the prisoners to Iranian authorities.
