Kamiar Alaei

Kamiar Alaei is a student in the DrPH program here at the University at Albany School of Public Health. He and his brother, Arash, are internationally known for their work on the AIDS virus. The brothers were arrested in June 2008 and are currently being held in Iran falsely charged with planning to overthrow the Iranian government. It is important that we as Kamiar’s colleagues do all we can to ensure at the very least a fair trial.
