Family of Swede imprisoned in Iran fear death penalty verdict is imminent

EU diplomat Johan Floderus's sister calls on Sweden to start speaking up loudly to demand his release

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.
