The family of a Swedish EU diplomat imprisoned in Iran for more than 663 days fear he will be given a death sentence or life imprisonment within the coming days after prosecutors sought the maximum sentence in his case.

“I ask how can this be happening? He is my brother and I’m like: they want to kill my younger brother? That is very hard to take in. I also feel so sad for him being there alone, you know, when I see the pictures of him I just want to be there for him,” said Johan Floderus’s sister, Ingrid.

"Treating them as legitimate" and "forceful removal" are very different concepts and the definition of "legitimate" is subjective in the extreme on the world stage.

Sanctions and penalties are within the remit of the EU, "liberation" is not , at least as far as I know.

Finally, a question, which other country could be considered "held captive by conservatives" with numerous deaths provably tried to said conservatives and also could be said to "difficult" to reason with?
