Day 3,679 of injustice for Ahmadreza Djalali. In April, which marked ten years of wrongful imprisonment, the International Science Council renewed their calls for his release. Is anything being done to secure his freedom? #SaveAhmadreza @MariaStenergard council.science/news/ahmadreza…

As everyone enjoys their Saturday, please think of Ahmadreza Djalali. An innocent father who has not seen his children over a decade. Who is trying to save this man? We refuse to look away. We refuse to be silent. @MariaStenergard @SwedishPM @SweMFA @araghchi A crime to humanity.

@martseyn @Karl_Drabbe @pietercleppe @QuintenJacobs3 Splitsen is verliezen, sowieso

@Karl_Drabbe @pietercleppe @QuintenJacobs3 Rond de taalgrens en Brussel zijn er veel mensen die naar dokters en ziekenhuizen gaan in een gewest waar ze niet wonen. Is het splitsen van de gezondheidszorg dan wel een goed idee? Zie autokeuring. Gesplitst en dat was een slecht idee voor dezelfde reden.

.@QuintenJacobs3: 'laat Vlaanderen de personenbelasting zelf innen en gebruik die om de volledig gesplitste gezondheidszorg te financieren. Als VL belastinggeld wil besteden aan frigobons en premies voor elektrische auto’s, zal het dat zelf moeten financieren. De burgers kunnen zo’n beleid dan belonen of afstraffen.' trends.knack.be/nieuws/macro-e…

Day 3,574 of injustice for Ahmadreza Djalali & his family. His unjust detention has continued since 2016, after being invited to Iran to attend a medical conference. Approaching 10 years of cruel separation. @SwedishPM @MariaStenergard @kajakallas @AmnestySverige #SaveAhmadreza

Iranian FM says US–Iran nuclear talks in Oman are “a good start.” Dear Mr. Araghchi, a truly “good start” would be Iran releasing all the innocent men & women it has unlawfully detained & ending its abhorrent practice of hostage diplomacy. From 🇸🇪Ahmadreza Djalali, 🇺🇸Shahab Dalili, 🇺🇸Reza Valizadeh, 🇬🇧Mehran Raoof, & 🇬🇧Lindsay & Craig Foreman, to the countless others who remain unknown; the time to release them is now! @POTUS @SecRubio @StateDept @aboehler @SteveWitkoff @StateSPEHA @jaredkushner @USEnvoyIran @WhiteHouse @VMehrannia @Free_Djalali @freerezav @Mohamma33121268 @Shahab_Dalili @HouseForeignGOP @HouseForeign @freelindscraig @FMofOman @badralbusaidi

It's shameful how hostages like Ahmadreza Djalali are still being ignored. IRGC continue on as officials turn a blind eye. It's been 10 years of torment & denial of his family. Act! End this. Do what is right @SwedishPM @araghchi @MariaStenergard @kajakallas @drpezeshkian @SweMFA

This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings. Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah’s will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half. I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls. I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed. I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission. I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards. I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend—patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith. I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting. O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it. Do not forget Gaza… And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance. Anas Jamal Al-Sharif 06.04.2025 This is what our beloved Anas requested to be published upon his martyrdom.

HAW Daily Brief 1/8 Reports of Internal Conflict over Djalali's Death Sentence: “Great Danger to His Life” hostageaid.org/reports-of-int… Sweden - Nyheterna A serious conflict has reportedly emerged between Iran’s intelligence services & the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) over the fate of imprisoned Swedish-Iranian doctor and researcher Ahmadreza Djalali. “It’s horrifying. I’m extremely worried about his condition,” said @VMehrannia. “My understanding is that the Revolutionary Guard wants to execute him, while the intelligence service does not,” she said, noting that the information remains unconfirmed by official sources. @Free_Djalali

@araghchi Thank you for granting access to medical care. I kindly disagree with the rest of your post, but thank you!

There was a time when relations between Iran and Sweden flourished; Iranian enterprises prized Swedish brands like Scania and Volvo, and there was plenty of travel and other engagement. But over the past decade, we have seen a regrettable shift. Sweden ceased non-sanctionable exports of medicines, including specialized and unique gear for children afflicted with EB. Routinely, police began standing aside as vandals attacked our Embassy in Stockholm; as recently as April 30, arsonists harmed our diplomatic premises. Astonishingly, Swedish authorities also decided to grant citizenship to a convicted criminal AFTER his sentencing for serious violations: an Iranian national with ties to Sweden so strong that he barely speaks some word of Swedish. None of this makes any sense from Iran's perspective. Despite the seriousness of the convicted criminal's offenses he has, like other prisoners, access to medical care and facilities. So instead of walking further into a dead end, I call on my Swedish counterpart @MariaStenergard to reconsider the choices that have brought us where we are today. I am proud of the sizable Iranian community in Sweden, which has contributed so much to both our countries and their relations. Iranian enterprises are eager to engage in lawful trade, to our mutual benefit. It is time to do away with tired rhetoric and open a new chapter.
