Four independent experts working with the United Nations have called on Iran to “immediately” annul the death sentence against Dr. Ahmadreza Djalali, an academic and doctor accused of espionage for Israel during the nuclear talks between the Islamic Republic and world powers, Agence France-Presse reported on Wednesday.

In a statement, the experts warned that “the procedure against him was marred by numerous reports of due process and fair trial violations.”

The U.N. expert on the human rights situation in Iran, alongside the experts on arbitrary detention, torture and summary executions, emphasized that Djalali had been held incommunicado, denied access to a lawyer, and forced to confess.
