FRENCH-IRANIAN ANTHROPOLOGIST ARRESTED
Our Colleague, Fariba Adelkhah
The Pan African Anthropological Association (PAAA) notes with deep concern the arrest in Iran of Professor Fariba Adelkhah. We of the PAAA considers this arrest as an infringement of fundamental human rights, notably the right to freely exercise an academic profession. The PAAA requests that Professor Adelkhah, who is of French nationality, be given access to the French diplomatic missions, and that all her rights under international law be fully respected or restored.”
