#Ahmadreza_Djalali, the KI researcher sentenced to death, has been missing in Iran for nearly two months.
Despite repeated demands for proof of life, Iran has remained silent.
Former Christian Democrat MP Lars Adaktusson, who has worked on Djalali’s case for years, says:
“Proof of life, evidence that he is alive, is missing.”
The last sign of life came
on June 23, after Israel attacked the notorious Evin prison in Tehran, where Djalali has been held for more than nine years.
In a phone call with his family, the Swedish-Iranian father of two said he was unharmed but, along with many other prisoners, would be moved to other prisons due to the attack.
After that transfer, he was reportedly taken to an unknown location, without his fellow inmates.
Adaktusson adds:
“The uncertainty of not knowing where Djalali is, or whether he is even alive, puts his wife and children under extreme psychological pressure.”
Promises of contact never fulfilled
The Swedish government has demanded evidence that Djalali — who was imprisoned in 2016 during a trip to lecture on disaster medicine in Iran — is still alive.
According to reports, on three occasions his legal representative in Tehran was promised that he would be allowed to contact his family in Sweden. Despite this, he has not been heard from.
In the meantime, thousands of prisoners have been returned to Evin prison, but Ahmadreza Djalali is not among them.
Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, founder of the Norway-based organization Iran Human Rights (IHR), says:
“From almost all the prisoners who were transferred, we have received some kind of proof of life. I cannot think of anyone else we haven’t heard from.”
Reports of clashes over his execution
Iran has repeatedly threatened that Djalali will be executed very soon. His health has seriously deteriorated during imprisonment, and in May he suffered a heart attack for which he did not receive adequate treatment.
There are unconfirmed reports of disputes between factions of Iran’s intelligence service and the powerful paramilitary Revolutionary Guard. Witnesses say that after the June prison attack, guards from the two security forces even drew their weapons on each other, as the Revolutionary Guards demanded that Djalali be executed immediately.
Since Djalali was sentenced to death for alleged espionage for Israel — after a summary trial denounced internationally as unfair — the risk of his execution is considered to have increased in light of the 12-day war between Iran and Israel in June.
