A Swedish citizen was executed in Iran on Wednesday, Sweden’s foreign minister said in a statement, Reuters reported.

“The person, who was no named in the statement, was arrested in Iran in June of last year and Sweden has repeatedly raised the case with Iranian officials,” Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard said.

“The death penalty is an inhumane, cruel and irreversible punishment. Sweden, together with the rest of the EU, condemns its application in all circumstances,” Stenergard said.
