Abbas Ebrahimzadeh, known as “Abbas Dollar,” a businessman and former member of Afghanistan’s parliament, arrived in Iran after being released from prison in Uzbekistan. During his first appearance in Tehran, he was welcomed by a number of his supporters.
In images and reports published about the event, Ebrahimzadeh appeared emotional and in tears while meeting his supporters. Speaking about his detention, he said that his imprisonment was the result of a “major conspiracy.”
Ebrahimzadeh spent approximately 11 months in prison in Uzbekistan and was released last month. Reports say his arrest followed a complaint filed by Hamidullah Rafi’i, an Afghan businessman, and that the case was related to a commercial dispute between the two sides.
Ebrahimzadeh had previously denied the allegations against him and described his detention as a conspiracy.
