Free the Iranian Doctors

Drs. Kamiar and Arash Alaei, two prominent HIV physicians have been imprisoned in Iran since June 2008. Please join the call to the Iranian government to drop the charges against them by signing the Physicians for Human Rights petition at this link http://actnow-phr.org/campaign/drop_the_charges

Here is a message from Physicians for Human Rights. TAC endorses it:
After being held without charge for 6 months, Arash and Kamiar were subjected to a perfunctory trial last week, and found guilty of communicating with an enemy state, as well as other secret charges the Iranian government refused to reveal. PHR believes these to be politically motivated and illegitimate charges, leveled in a patently unfair court proceeding. We fear for the health, safety and human rights of these well known doctors.
