The ISC's Committee for Freedom and Responsibility in Science (CFRS) has issued an urgent call to ISC Members to support efforts to halt the execution of Dr Ahmadreza Djalali

Halt the execution of Dr. Ahmadreza Djalali

Anne Husebekk, ISC Vice-President for Freedom and Responsibility in Science and Chair of the ISC’s Committee for Freedom and Responsibility in Science (CFRS) writes:

You may have already learned that Iranian authorities are preparing to carry out their execution of the Swedish-Iranian medical scholar  Ahmadreza Djalali by 21 May. 

On behalf of the ISC’s Committee for Freedom and Responsibility in Science, I respectfully ask you do everything you can to urge your national governments and Iranian state authorities to secure Dr Djalali’s release.

In monitoring this case, CFRS works closely with the US-based organization Scholars at Risk (SAR), of which the ISC is a member.

A call to action

Together with SAR, the ISC hopes that you can support Dr Djalali at this crucial moment, by:

Dr Djalali is an important contributor to the world of medicine and a colleague to physicians, medics, and other personnel responding to emergencies around the world. He needs your help now more than ever, so that he can return safely to his wife, children, and the medical community.

Please let us know of any advocacy efforts you undertake, as we will do our best to amplify them through our own channels.

I appreciate your attention to this matter and any action that you can take on behalf of Dr Djalali.
