Forschende inhaftiert im Iran: Erleichterung und höchste Besorgnis
Various researchers have been imprisoned in Iran for several years, accused of espionage or cooperation with hostile states. Of the 7 researchers from several countries, 6 have been released during the last 12 months: a month ago the French-Iranian citizen Fariba Adelkhah, yesterday the Australian Kylie Moore-Gilbert. The Swiss Academies of Arts amd Sciences and their Delegate for Human Rights have continuously intervened in support of these imprisoned researchers and are most relieved by these positive developments. However, they are gravely concerned about Ahmadreza Djalali, the Swedish-Iranian researcher still in prison and facing the death penalty.
