TEHRAN (Iran News) – Nineteen Iranian prisoners returned home from Kuwait to serve the rest of their sentences in the Islamic Republic based on an extradition treaty between the two countries.
The prisoners in Kuwait were transferred onto Iranian officials hands on Friday night to serve the rest of their sentences in their homeland.
The men were extradited to the Islamic Republic after the follow-up efforts made by the Islamic Republic Embassy in Kuwait.
The Kuwaiti officials handed over the convicts to the representative of Iran’s judicial authorities.
Iran and Kuwait have been implementing an agreement on the extradition of prisoners since 2004, which allows Iran nationality prisoners in Kuwait and Kuwaiti inmates in Iran to return to their respective countries and complete their prison terms at home.
