Word leaked on Monday that Iran had held Johan Floderus, a Swedish diplomat working for the European Union’s foreign service, for more than 500 days. The West kept his detention quiet so as not to disrupt diplomacy. Iran apparently seized Floderus as a chit to trade for Hamid Nouri, an Iranian national held in Sweden for his role in the 1988 massacre of nearly 3,000 prisoners.
The lie is pernicious. The logic that silence keeps hostage value low is also false. Hostage-takers seize innocents because they already know who they are and what concessions they might bring. Universities act in parallel. Princeton University urged graduate student Xiyue Wang to conduct research in Tehran, counseled him to remain after authorities seized his passport, and then sought to keep his case out of the limelight once Iran imprisoned him. Princeton’s apparent goal was to maintain access for its faculty and keep itself on the right side of the Iranian studies donors’ crowd.
