Iranian consul seeks asylum in Norway
21 January 2010 16:04 (UTC +04:00)
Oslo-APA. A former consul at the Iranian Embassy in Oslo told Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK) on Wednesday that he had applied for political asylum in Norway, APA reports. Mohammad Reza Heydari quit his job as a diplomat in the local embassy earlier this month, claiming he no longer wanted to represent a government that treated its opponents so violently, referring to recent protests on the streets of Teheran. Iranian authorities at first denied he had quit but now Heydari’s diplomatic passport has been revoked. He has asked for travel documents from Norway but has been denied them so far and officials at immigration agency UDI say his case will be handled like all others. Mohammad Reza Heydari lives in Oslo with his wife and two children. He said he now wants to support what he calls the "freedom campaign" in Iran.
