His Excellency Dr. Hassan Rouhani
President of the Islamic Republic of Iran

 

Your Excellency:

We, the undersigned, respectfully urge you to order the immediate and unconditional release of Dr. Mohammad Hossein Rafiee-Fanood, who is unlawfully imprisoned for expressing his political views in a peaceful and legal manner.

Dr. Rafiee, aged 71, is a retired professor of polymer chemistry at the University of Tehran, and a prolific writer. He has been a vocal supporter of the nuclear negotiations between Iran and the P5 +1, and through his writings and speeches he has advocated a negotiated and peaceful solution to the problem that would respect Iran’s national, international and sovereign rights.

Restricting Dr. Rafiee’s rights to freedom of expression through arrest and detention, the conditions of his prosecution, and his inhumane conditions in Evin Prison represent violations of both the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights to which the Islamic Republic of Iran adheres.

In furtherance of respect for human rights of scholars, scientists, and all citizens of Iran, we urge you to ensure that the guarantees embodied in the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran and Iran’s obligations under international law are upheld.

Sincerely,
Signatories (in alphabetical order):
