Den iransk-svenske forskaren Ahmadreza Djalali behöver omedelbart få specialistvård som inte är tillgänglig i fängelset. Djalali, som är forskare vid Karolinska institutet, greps vid en resa till Iran i april 2016. Han dömdes i oktober 2017 till döden som israelisk spion. Iransk TV visade i december 2018 en film där Ahmadreza Djalali påstods erkänna sig skyldig.

Under tiden i fängelse har han gått ner 24 kilo och väger nu 51 kilo.

Dear Mr Ali Alghasi Mehr,
Allow me to express my profound concern for Iraninan-Swedish citizen Dr Ahmadreza Djalali, imprisoned in Tehran’s Evin prison. He is being denied the urgent specialized medical care he needs. Different blood tests indicates that he has a low white blood cell count. After an examination in early 2019 it was recommended that Dr Ahmadreza Djalali be seen by doctors specialized in haematology and oncology in a hospital outside of prison.

On two occasions a transfer was scheduled to a hospital outside of prison to see a specialist, but conditioned that Dr Djalali be shackled and wearing a prison uniform. He protested against these degrading conditions and, in reprisal, the authorities cancelled the transfer. These conditions seems to be deliberately designed to humiliate and punish him, and violates the absolute prohibition on cruel, inhuman or degrading treatments under international law.

I call for the immediate release of Dr Ahmadreza Djalali, and in the meantime that he be granted the specialized medical care he needs outside prison.

Yours sincerely,
