This article is about 2 AIDS and HIV physicians brothers were arrested just about 3 years ago for being charged with "plotting to overthrow the government after an unorthodox one-day secret army trial". The words and phrases that this article uses are mostly involving government and criminal justice terms. In the article it states that "The brothers were not allowed to interact with each while they were confined in separate wings of Tehran's Evin prison, including months each spent in solitary confinement". After getting released after a year in prison the brothers were relieved to be out of there. Even a deputy Director from PHP states that "Doctors and other health professionals all over the world often face persecution for simply doing their job, and PHR has a long history of advocating on behalf of these doctors for justice and accountability".
