CNN —A Swiss national who was arrested and accused of spying in Iran died by suicide in prison on Thursday, according to Mizan Online, a news agency affiliated with Iran’s judiciary. Semnan prison is about 190 kilometers (118 miles) east of Tehran, Iran’s capital. The Swiss citizen, who was being held in Semnan prison, asked his cellmate on Thursday morning local time to provide him with food from the prison buffet, the chief justice said, as cited by Mizan Online. “This prisoner took advantage of the time he was left alone in the cell,” and took his own life, the chief justice added. “Prison officials immediately took action to save this person, but efforts to save him were unsuccessful,” according to the chief justice of Iran’s Semnan province.
