Yesterday, the Iranian government announced that the brothers Arash and Kamiar Alaei, prominent physicians who are internationally recognized for their research and advocacy efforts on behalf of improved treatment of HIV/AIDS, had been convicted of vaguely worded charges of conspiring to overthrow the Iranian government and were sentenced to prison. I ask you to join the international outcry over the prosecution and conviction of the two brothers. Attached please find an action with background
information on the case. Please feel free to circulate this widely to your contacts. It is very important that the Iranian government receive a large number of messages about this case. Thank you all again for your efforts on behalf of human rights in Iran.
Best wishes,
