Yesterday the news came that Johan Floderus and Saeed Azizi had returned home after a historic prisoner exchange.

But the Swedish-Iranian researcher Ahmadreza Djalali, who was sentenced to death in Iran in 2017, remains in captivity.

His wife Vida Mehrannia is critical of the government’s failure to bring him home. Now she is standing outside the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Stockholm waiting for an answer.

– I will return here every day until I get an answer to what is happening with Ahmadreza. What is going on is inhumane, she says.

Anna Erhardt, press secretary for Foreign Minister Tobias Billström (M), says that Billström will meet Vida Mehrannia “soon”.

“The foreign ministry’s consular director met Djalali’s wife yesterday and Billström also has a meeting scheduled with the family in the near future,” she writes to Aftonbladet.

Three men have been arrested on suspicion of the attempted murder in Vetlanda during the night to Sunday.

“Their mutual relationship in the act will continue to be handled in the investigation,” the police write on their website.

It was around 02.20 that the police were called to Vetlanda after reports of loud explosions.

At the scene, they found a man in his 30s who had been injured with a sharp knife.

– Some form of firearm has been used and some form of sharp object has been used, says Johnny Gustavsson, police spokesperson, SVT Jönköping.

The man had to be transported to hospital, but is said to have been awake and able to speak after the incident.

After the prisoner exchange with Iran, criticism has been directed at Ahmadreza Djalali remaining in an Iranian prison, while Johan Floderus and Saeed Azizi were allowed to return to Sweden.

Now Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) is hitting back against the criticism that comes, among other things, from Djalali’s wife.

– I have great respect for her disappointment, but don’t really understand the criticism. The alternative would have been to leave the two Swedes who could now come home, says the prime minister to SR’s Godmorgon.

A Dutch tourist who was reported missing on the Greek island of Samos on Sunday has been found dead, reports the AP news agency.

During Sunday morning, a plane that was on its way to Kiruna was forced to turn back towards Stockholm.

The reason was a fault on the runway at Kiruna Airport.

The airport in Kiruna has now been closed.

– We don’t know when the airport will reopen, but we are now working to prepare, says Fredrik Elg.

It is unclear whether more flights will be affected by the error.
