issue of Prehospital and Disaster Medicine discusses Djalali's case and urges for his immediate release. Burkle stated, “Whatever political advantage Iran thought they might gain by his incarceration has had the opposite effect to what was intended. Upon his death, academic institutions world-wide, that support the over 70,000 Iranian graduate students and scholars studying abroad each year, will be increasingly reluctant to participate for fear those graduates will suffer a similar fate once they return.” In September, an interview from prison was released where Ahmadreza Djalali calls on the Swedish government to intervene to help free him. 10 October was the World Day against the Death Penalty and Amnesty and other organizations tweeted calls to save Djalali. In October 2020, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet expressed deep concern at the deteriorating situation of human rights defenders, lawyers, and political prisoners being held in Iran's prisons. On 24 November, it was widely reported that Djalali had been transferred to solitary confinement and had been told by the authorities that his death sentence would soon be carried out. On Tuesday, 1 December the organization Iran Human Rights reported hearing from Vida Mehrannia, Djalali's wife, that he was going to be transferred to Rajai Shahr prison, a normal preliminary to an execution. This was just a few days after the release of the Australian scholar Kylie Moore-Gilbert. On Wednesday, 2 December, Djalali was granted a temporary reprieve and was not transferred to Rajai Shahr prison, as reported by The Guardian. 2021 On March 1, 2021, a group of civil rights activists appeared before the Judiciary Services Office in Tehran to file a suit against those who order or enforce solitary confinement in Iran's detention centres and prisons, bringing to the fore public discussion in Iran of a longstanding practice that the UN has labelled torture. On 18 March 2021, UN human rights experts demanded the immediate release of Djalali due to his critical condition after over 100 days in solitary confinement, a form of punishment used systematically by the Islamic Republic of Iran despite being a violation of Iran's obligations under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. 2022 The Iranian Students News Agency reports that Djalali will be executed on 21 May "at the latest." Tehran has denied any links between the Trial of Hamid Nouri and Ahmad Reza Djalali's death sentence. According to research by Amnesty International,
