After almost 800 days in Iran’s notorious Evin prison, the now-free Swedish diplomat Johan Floderus recalled the darkest moments throughout his imprisonment and how he survived them.
Released in mid-June, Floderus and another Swedish citizen were part of a prisoner exchange that saw a former prison official return to Iran.
When asked how he has been since gaining his freedom, Floderus smiled while choosing his words carefully.
“I’m doing well. My family has done everything to give me the sort of soft landing that I think I really needed upon my return,” he told AFP.
