Greenway Movement Network (Jaras): Norwegian authorities have accepted the asylum request of Mohammad Reza Heydari, a diplomat who resigned from his position at the Iranian embassy in Oslo, Norway.

Radio Farda reports that last month Mr. Heydari resigned from his post and requested asylum in Norway. He had announced that his resignation was “an act of protest against suppression in Iran.”
