Al-Raisi was sued in multiple countries.[22] Rodney Dixon, the lawyer of Matthew Hedges and Ali Ahmad, raised a complaint with the Sweden police to arrest al-Raisi upon his arrival to the country, as part of his campaign tour before the vote.[24] Hedges and Ahmad raised a similar request with the Norwegian police authorities, asking them for help and to use the opportunity of al-Raisi’s visit to arrest him, if an investigation is opened.[25]
