Iran’s ambassador to Germany was not summoned

TEHRAN,Dec.29(MNA)--Commenting on reports that Iran’s ambassador to Germany was summoned, allegedly because Tehran did not allow the families of two Germans, who are currently detained in Iran, to meet the two men, Mehmanparast rejected the report and said that Iran’s ambassador to Germany held talks with German officials on the issue.

The two German nationals, who had entered Iran on tourist visas, were arrested in October for trying to interview relatives of Sakineh Ashtiani without having obtained journalistic credentials. Sakineh Ashtiani has been convicted of adultery and murder.

However, the families of the two German nationals were allowed to visit the two men this week.
