The short International Science Council post says:

As conflict escalates in the region, the Swedish-Iranian disaster medicine scholar remains wrongfully imprisoned and sentenced to death.

April 2026 marks ten years since Dr Ahmadreza Djalali’s arrest in Tehran by Iranian authorities. He has been denied due process and access to medical care, and has endured extreme treatment, isolation, and repeated threats of imminent execution. Dr Djalali’s case is one of the most urgent unresolved instances of Iran’s wrongful imprisonment and politically motivated hostage-taking of Western-linked academics.
