Help stop the execution of Swedish-Iranian doctor
UPDATE: On 22 December 2023, an official from the judiciary visited Ahmadreza Djalali in prison warning that his conviction and death sentence are “confirmed” and “will soon be implemented”, according to information revealed by Ahmadreza Djalali’s family. The Iranian authorities have recently embarked on another alarming executions spree, executing at least 115 people in November 2023 alone.
Ahmadreza Djalali was tortured and forced to ‘confess’ to being a ‘spy’. He’s been told his execution could take place any day.
Over 5 years ago, Swedish-Iranian academic Ahmadreza, a specialist in emergency medicine, was on a regular trip to Iran when he was arrested.
Ahmadreza says he was tortured and that interrogators threatened to harm his children unless he ‘confessed’ to being a ‘spy’ for Sweden.
Ahmadreza’s wife Vida describes him as “a conscientious and compassionate doctor who has put all of his effort into the health and welfare of others.”
In November 2020, Vida was told that Ahmadreza’s execution would be carried out within a week. In response compassionate people from all around the world spoke out and called for the Iranian authorities to call off the execution.
According to information received by Amnesty International, his execution was then called off following orders from “higher up.”
Sadly, Ahmadreza is still at risk of execution.
Ahmadreza’s execution in November 2020 was called off because compassionate people stood up and spoke out. Vida is calling for people to continue to speak out.
“Ahmadreza has always been devoted to helping others; now he is wasting away in prison for nothing. I ask Amnesty International activists around the world to help bring my husband back to his wife and children, and to the academic world.”
Sign the petition and call on the Iranian authorities to quash Ahmadreza’s death sentence and release him so he can be reunited with Vida and his children.
Join us in making a difference.
