An Iranian nuclear scientist detained since 2010 has been executed, his family has told the BBC.

Shahram Amiri’s mother said the body of her son had been returned to their hometown with rope marks around his neck, showing that he had been hanged.

He was later buried. Amiri had been held at a secret location after returning from the US, where he said he had been forcibly taken by the CIA.

Some reports say he had in-depth knowledge of Iran’s nuclear programme.

Mr Amiri, who was born in 1977, went missing after taking a pilgrimage to Mecca in 2009.

He surfaced in the US a year later saying he had been kidnapped and put under “intense psychological pressure to reveal sensitive information” by the CIA.

In a video recording - apparently made in the US - he said: “They took me to a house located somewhere that I didn’t know. They gave me an anaesthetic injection.”

In another video he claimed he had escaped from US custody. He returned to Tehran in 2010 to a hero’s welcome.

Hio mradi ni hatari kwa maisha, Mossad bado inazidi kumaliza top Scientists wenye weko involved kwa huo mradi, all in the name of stopping that country from acquiring zana za kinukiria.

Ili iwe funzo kwa wengine. You can’t do that and expect to live long. In any case, he would have been executed Akasha-style by CIA operatives eventually.

You can’t go selling secrets to the CIA and when they don’t pay you what you “agreed” you jump ship again and start telling (and confirming to) the world how CIA targets key people to extract information about truly sovereign countries.
