The short explanation of this alert was:

Drs. Kamiar and Arash Alaei need your help. After being held without charge for over 6 months, Arash and Kamiar were subjected to a perfunctory trial last week. They’ve been charged with communicating with an enemy state—politically motivated and illegitimate charges leveled in a patently unfair court proceeding. See PHR’s recent press release for more information on their trial and on this case.
