They said Floderus was being held without formal charges at Tehran's Evin prison, where political prisoners and many detainees facing security charges, including Iranians with dual nationality, are jailed. "His needs for adequate food rations, outside walks, medical checkups and much more are not respected ," his family wrote, adding that he had been denied "communicating" with Sweden's embassy in Tehran, except a few consular visits.
