He announced: "In line with the development and expansion of legal and judicial cooperation between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Republic of Iraq, the authorities of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq agreed to the transfer of an Iranian female prisoner. With the cooperation of the Judiciary, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Justice, and the Marivan Prosecutor's Office, this prisoner was handed over to Iran's judicial and law enforcement authorities at the Bashmaq border on Wednesday."

The Head of the Committee for the Transfer of Convicts at the Ministry of Justice, referring to the upcoming summer holidays and wishing compatriots a pleasant and peaceful trip, stressed: "Dear compatriots should remain vigilant and cautious. While respecting the domestic laws of destination countries and avoiding any legal violations, they should refrain from carrying any kind of psychotropic substances, narcotics, or prohibited pills. They should be alert and strictly avoid transporting or carrying entrusted packages. In case of encountering any suspicious activities at the country's exit borders, they should inform the police and other security authorities to prevent turning the joy of travel into bitterness due to intentional or unintentional crimes."
