Abstract:

Especially in medical ethics and humanitarian medicine, an interdisciplinary approach is required in order to understand the implications of a specific problem or case. We present the case of a Swedish-Iranian medical doctor who has become the victim of severe human rights abuses after arrest, being the guest of an Iranian University. We discuss the implications as to medical ethics and possible interventions by the international medical community in a situation where medical doctors and health care professionals become increasingly the target of politically motivated human rights abuses.
