Dear friends, I am sure you are all aware of the events unfolding in Iran. Unfortunately, these events have taken a greater personal toll on some of us. Last week a dear friend Mohammadreza Jalaeipour has been arrested on his way back to the UK to continue is doctorate studies at Oxford University. His wife is now preparing a petition addressed to Ayatollah Shahroudi for his release. This petition is to be signed by: IRANIAN STUDENTS AND ACADEMICS WHO TEACH / STUDY / HAVE STUDIED OUTSIDE IRAN 1. Email your name, university and location to skhoshroo@post.harvard.edu or to faatemeh.shams@gmail.com. 2. Forward this message to friends that may be interested in signing the petition Please note Mohammadreza’s wife (Fatemeh Shams) hopes to send and publish the letter tomorrow morning UK time, so your urgent attention to his matter would be much appreciated by me, Mohammadreza’s wife and family.
