Ahmadreza Djalali, 10 years hostage! The international community must rally to his cause, calling for his release, a renewed force & purpose. So much has been stolen from their lives. An absolute crime to humanity @SwedishPM @MariaStenergard @kajakallas @KajsaOllongren @araghchi

Every political prisoner has a name, a family, and a story that must not be forgotten.
This International Day of Political Prisoners, join advocates, former prisoners, families, journalists, and human rights defenders at the Lincoln Memorial as we honour those imprisoned for exercising their fundamental freedoms.
Together, we will read the names of political prisoners from countries around the world, recognize those who have been freed, remember those who died in detention, and stand in solidarity with those still unjustly imprisoned.
When: October 30, 2026
Time: 5:00 – 7:00 PM ET
Where: Lincoln Memorial, Washington, D.C.
Be part of this global call for freedom.

Ahmadreza Djalali, this case stands a stark reminder of the repressive & dangerous conduct of the Iranian regime. It is ongoing assault on the rules based international order. Save an innocent man before he dies @drpezeshkian @araghchi @SwedishPM @MariaStenergard @KajsaOllongren

Day 3,833 of injustice for Ahmadreza Djalali and his family. "For exhausted families, the unrelenting emotional stress becomes virtually unbearable." But his supporters will not forget him or stop calling for action to #SaveAhmadreza. @SwedishPM @MariaStenergard @KajsaOllongren
THE EDELSTAM PRIZE 2024 LAUREATE – MR. DAWIT ISAAK
September 23 came & went. 🇸🇪🇪🇺 Dawit Isaak is still forcibly disappeared in Eritrea.
His 25th anniversary passed. His captivity continues!
@SwedishPM @kajakallas, how many more years will Sweden & the EU allow this to continue without consequences? What will it take to finally confront Eritrea’s refusal to answer even the most basic questions about his fate?
Dawit has lost 25 years. How many more will he lose before the governments meant to protect him finally act? #FreeDawit Now!

Ahmadreza Djalali.
Sweden knows his name very well. So does the EU. Yet his life hangs in the balance while years of diplomatic efforts have failed to secure his release.
@SwedishPM @MariaStenergard @kajakallas, what will Sweden & the EU do differently to change the outcome?
Ahmadreza's life cannot remain the price of Europe’s inaction. #SaveAhmadreza

11 years since China abducted Swedish publisher Gui Minhai. 11 years behind bars. 11 years of words calling for his release.
Today, Sweden’s PM & FM marked another anniversary with statements. Both have previously raised Gui’s case with China. But words do not free prisoners. Action does.
@SwedishPM @MariaStenergard, China has ignored Sweden’s calls for years. What concrete pressure will you exert to secure Gui’s freedom? How many more anniversaries before words become results?

How much longer will Ahmadreza Djalali stay alive? A simple tweet isn't working. Is anyone doing anything at all to save Ahmadreza? After 10 YEARS, something needs to or he will rot in a cell.

HAW Daily Brief 1/2 Parliamentary Motion Calls for More Active Efforts in Djalali’s Case
hostageaid.org/parliamentary…
Sweden - Läkartidningen
Christian Democrat Member of Parliament Magnus Oscarsson has submitted a parliamentary motion calling on the government to “actively work to secure Ahmadreza Djalali’s release from Iranian captivity and allow him to reunite with his family in Sweden.” Magnus Oscarsson writes that the case of the Swedish-Iranian doctor and researcher is regarded by the United Nations as “a political act on Iran’s part, and Ahmadreza Djalali is considered a prisoner of conscience.” He also points out that Ahmadreza Djalali, who has been sentenced to death for espionage, is in deteriorating health and has been imprisoned for ten years. @VMehrannia @bergersus
