In a letter to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Secretary of Iran’s High Council for Human Rights on Tuesday criticized the illegal detention and trial of an Iranian diplomat and demanded that the German and Belgian governments be held accountable.
Tehran slams unlawful detention of Iranian diplomat
 One hundred and one days after his arrest, Asadi was transferred to Belgium in October 2018 with an illegal sentence by the German court in Karlsruhe.
 
Following his transfer, the Belgian Antwerp Criminal Court illegally sentenced Assad to 20 years in prison, contrary to his diplomatic immunity under the 1961 Vienna Convention.
 
Assadollah Asadi is currently imprisoned in Belgium.
 
Kazem Gharibabadi, Secretary of Iran’s High Council for Human Rights, in a letter to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michel Bachelet, expressed grave concern over gross human rights violations exercised against Assadollah Asadi's in Germany and Belgium.
He said: "Asadi is one of the diplomatic agents of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Vienna, Austria."
 
Gharibabadi added that Germany is a party to the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
 
Gharibabadi also wrote that Assadollah Asadi enjoys all immunities.
 
The letter states that the prison authorities in Asadi's detention center in Belgium have denied him the opportunity to communicate with his children, brothers, sisters and other relatives and are behaving in a very harsh and harassing manner which is a clear violation of Belgium's obligations under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
