Iran summons Saudi chargé d’affaires

The Saudi diplomat was summoned by the Iranian Foreign Ministry on Monday when the report of the execution of the Iranian prisoners in Saudi Arabia was confirmed, IRNA reported.

Tehran censured Riyadh for denying the Iranians their right to consular access, saying that it is against international obligations and human rights law.

The Iranians were charged with alleged drug possession.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry also announced that Tehran will pursue the case through international organizations.

The Saudi chargé d’affaires said he will convey Iran’s objection to the Saudi government.
