Dear Iranian Authorities,
Please release Drs. Arash and Kamiar Alaei. Thank you, Ramine
Human rights have been violated by Islamic Republic regime systematically for past 30 years and we urge the world to stop this madness. Public flogging brfore the condemned is publically hanged while small childeren are watching. Does that sound humane?
It is happening in the streets of Tehran.
29 people where hanged in Evin 2 weeks ago, where they keep political prisoners.
Greetings of peace to the Iranian Authorities.
While admittedly only you know the reason(s) for the detention of the Drs. Arash and Kamjar Alaei and their current whereabouts the good that they have done and desire to continue is essential to the well-being of the Iranian people (and by extension all people) and that cannot be wrong. Allah blessed them with the skills to help their fellow man and they chose to respect that blessing by doing so.
I implore you to let their families know that they are okay; allow them to speak personally with their families; permit them access to legal representation and the information on what charges they are facing so that they may defend and clear themselves of those charges and continue the good works they had undertaken.
We are rapidly losing our sacred right to habaeus corpus. Show the world that Iran is above such degradation of human rights by either allowing these doctors to go free or trying them in a civil court.
Dear Iranian Authorities
The modern world needs effective scientists and medical doctors. It will be to the advantage of Iran if scientific and medical advances can be encouraged. This desirable result can only occur if Iran pursues humanitarian and legal methods of government. I urge you to treat Doctors Arash and Kamjar Alaei in an honest and legal way, and especially to make known their present whereabouts and the charges against them.

Iranian Authorities,
Please release Drs. Arash and Kamiar Alaei.
Please, release Drs. Arash and Kamiar Alaei. Treating AIDS is NOT a crime. In America doctors are required to take the Hippocratic Oath, in which it states: “I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone”. It sounds as though that is exactly what these doctors were doing. Nobody should EVER be harmed or imprisioned for agreeing to help others.
On behalf of public health professionals around the world, I implore the immediate release of our colleagues who are seeking to enhance the health and well being of fellow humans.
These men are working to help citizens avoid AIDS Please free them to do their good deeds for yur public.
Please release Drs. Arash and Kamiar Alaei.
Spell humanity, in your policies, please. for once.
Please free Doctors Arash and Kamiar Alaei as well as journalist Roxana Saberi. The Iranian government proves it’s primitive, despotic intentions EVERY time it decides to imprison those who act with integrity and honor.
Iranian Authorities,
Please release Drs. Arash and Kamiar Alaei.
These collegues are working to help citizens to avoid AIDS.
Unhand those men! Free Doctors Arash and Kamiar Alaei immediately!
