The Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirms that a Polish national was taken into custody in Iran in September 2021.

The consular services have maintained contact with the Pole and his family ever since; the detainee has been provided with legal aid.

Consular and diplomatic steps have been taken to make it possible for him to return to Poland as soon as possible.

We have also been coordinating our subsequent actions with allied states.

Considering the best interests of the highly reputed scientist, the MFA will not disclose any details of the case and requests that his privacy and the privacy of his relatives be respected.
