Iranian diplomat defects

A high-ranking diplomat at the Iranian embassy in Oslo has defected, and has applied for asylum in Norway, the newspaper Dagbladet reports.

The diplomat has been stationed at the embassy for several years, and is now living with his family at an unknown address, the newspaper writes.

The man’s lawyer says his client does not wish to comment on why he in December decided to defect.

Neither the Department of Foreign Affairs nor the Police Security Service (PST) want to comment on the case, NRK reports.
