Ahmad Reza Djalali (Persian: احمدضا جلالی; born 15 September 1971) is an Iranian-Swedish disaster medicine doctor, lecturer, and researcher. He has worked in several universities in Europe, among which Karolinska University of Sweden, where he had also attended his PhD program, Università degli Studi del Piemonte Orientale (Italy), Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Belgium).[1] He also cooperated with universities in Iran and is in contact with universities worldwide.[2]
Djalali was arrested in April 2016 in Iran and sentenced to death on the charges of espionage and treason, in what human rights organizations said to be "a grossly unfair trial."[3][4] According to Djalali, he has been tortured and threatened during the period of his arrest.[5]
