For more than 800
days we all were worried and campaigning for the best doctors in this planet.
It took time till we
started a project for an affordable clinic in Southern Cal
until Jan 11 that we
had started the initial core of the project in Community room of Flam
International
about these two brothers:
Dr. Kamiar Alaei and his brother Dr. Arash Alaei are two Iranian HIV/AIDS doctors who were detained in Tehran's Evin prison from June 2008 through Dec 2010 and August 2011, respectively. Prior to their arrest, they developed harm-reduction programs in Iran and developed the program Global Health in the Middle East and Central Asia, an HIV/AIDS training program for regional health experts.[1]

" Citizens of the University" from the State University of New Your-Albany

www.albany.edu; In 2012, Drs. Arash and Kamiar Alaei founded the Institute for Health and Human Rights at the University at Albany. Its goal: to advocate for the promotion and protection of health and human rights for all. The newly established Institute for Health and Human Rights attempts to make a bridge between public health on the one hand and human rights on the other, promoting a democratic approach toward the right to health around the world. The brothers have developed inter-institutional partnerships with major academic and human rights organizations, giving the institute an exceptional ability to influence international health and human rights policy, to conduct cutting edge research, to facilitate internships and field work for younger generations, and to develop and implement projects throughout the world, all while educating the human rights advocates of tomorrow. |

Kamiar and Arash Alaei are well-known Iranian HIV/AIDS physicians who have made breakthroughs in harm reduction and stood up for the health and human rights of the people of Iran. Instead of being rewarded for their groundbreaking work, they've been thrown into prison in Iran-and they need your help.
The Alaeis were tried on charges of with communicating with an enemy government in late 2008, and in January 2009 were sentenced to 3 years (Kamiar) and 6 years (Arash) in Tehran's notorious Evin prison. Their crime: practicing good medicine and sharing public health knowledge with colleagues across the globe-including in the US.
Their arrest robs the world of two great physicians and has a chilling effect on public health dialogue and diplomacy worldwide.
On May 12th the global HIV/AIDS community will stand up and say with one voice that "Treating AIDS is not Crime!" and call for Kamiar and Arash to be released.
Join us in NYC for a vigil at the Iranian Mission to the UN to call on the Iranian Government to support the Human Rights of Kamiar and Arash.
This vigil is part of a global day of action that is happening in over 12 different countries right now:
