Tortured Swedish-Iranian academic Ahmadreza Djalali, arbitrarily detained in Tehran’s Evin prison, is at risk of imminent execution. Mounting evidence indicates that Iranian authorities are holding him hostage and threatening to execute him to compel Belgium and/or Sweden to hand over two imprisoned former Iranian officials, and to deter future prosecutions of Iranian officials. The authorities must halt any plans to execute Ahmadreza Djalali and release him immediately.
