DUBAI: Iran's government on Tuesday summoned the Saudi Arabian ambassador to Tehran in protest to Riyadh not allowing Iran to send a legal team to investigate the 10 Iranians who were executed in the ultra-conservative Gulf kingdom.
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Parliamentary and Consular Affairs Hassan Qashqavi said on Tuesday that Iran has summoned the Saudi Arabian ambassador to Tehran, Iran's Mehr News Agency (MNA) reported.
The Iranians were executed by Saudi on drug trafficking charges.
On May 30, Iranian media outlets reported that the Iranians were executed in Dammam, the capital of the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia.
In response to the remarks of a Saudi foreign ministry official, in which he claimed that there were no agreement between Iran and Saudi Arabia on the repatriation of convicts and criminals, Qashqavi said that the draft agreement had been discussed by the two countries.
At a press conference on July 24, Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi announced that Iran and Saudi Arabia will sign an agreement on the repatriation of Iranian and Saudi Arabian convicts and criminals.
