(Iran International) An Iranian cleric, an imam at an Islamic center in suburban Stockholm, has been arrested for nearly two weeks and faces deportation from Sweden, Expressen reported Friday.
Almost two weeks ago, individuals in civilian clothing went to the home of cleric Mohsen Hakimollahi at midnight and took him away, a close associate told Expressen.
“He has been missing for more than ten days and we learned through various channels that he is in one of the Swedish Migration Board’s detention centers and will soon be deported from the country,” added the source.
The Imam Ali Islamic Center, considered the largest Shiite institution in Northern Europe, has not issued a public statement on the matter.
