Australian jailed in Iraq conditionally released after four years
An Australian man has been conditionally released from prison in Iraq, after four years of what the UN has called arbitrary detention. Robert Pether, a mechanical engineer, was jailed in 2021 on fraud charges amid a contract dispute between the consulting firm he worked for and the Central Bank of Iraq. The UN has said the 50-year-old's detention and treatment was illegal, and an international court has ruled his employer is not responsible for the business disagreement. Iraqi officials are yet to provide an explanation for the decision, Mr Pether's wife Desree told the BBC - noting her "extremely sick" husband is still banned from leaving the country despite needing urgent medical care. The family feels numb with shock, said Mrs Pether, who has been tirelessly lobbying for this moment. "It's the first time in over four years that we've taken one step in the right direction." "There's a tiny glimmer of hope, but there's another mountain still to go over." "He really needs to be home and in hospital." Simon Harris, the tánaiste (deputy prime minister) of Ireland - where the Pether family lives - said in a statement to media that Iraq's Foreign Minister had called him to confirm the "welcome news". "[This] has been a long and distressing saga for Robert's wife, three children and his wider family and friends," Harris said. "I welcomed this as a first step to his being allowed to return to his family in Roscommon." He added that he remained concerned about Mr Pether's health and any outstanding charges against him - which are unclear. The BBC has contacted the Australian government for comment. Mr Pether worked in the Middle East for almost a decade before taking on a huge rebuild of the Central Bank of Iraq's Baghdad headquarters in 2015. He was arrested alongside his CME Consulting colleague, Egyptian Khalid Radwan, after the bank accused the men of stealing money from the project. After being held without charge for almost six months, and then subjected to a speedy trial, the two were each given a five-year jail sentence and a joint fine of $12m (A$18.4m, £8.8m). However, a 2022 report from the UN determined that the case contravened international law, and that Mr Pether and Mr Khalid had been subjected to "abusive and coercive" interrogations. Iraq's government has previously denied allegations of ill treatment. In 2023, the International Chamber of Commerce's (ICC) Court of Arbitration ruled that Iraq's central bank was at fault in the dispute with CME, and ordered it to pay $13m to the company. Mrs Pether said she spoke to her husband after his release on Thursday night. "He's on a bit of a high tonight, but I think he'll probably come crashing down tomorrow." He looked sick and weak, she said, noting that he can't keep food down and hasn't eaten properly in months. There are also worries he has a potential skin cancer relapse, she added. "He's unrecognisable. If he got on a plane now and they were checking his passport, they would not know it was the same person." She said efforts are now turning to have Mr Pether's travel ban lifted, but in the meantime the family has turned to crowdfunding to try to get him private hospital care in Baghdad. "Enough is enough," Mrs Pether said. "He needs to come home." Australian jailed in Iraq reaches grim milestone 'My husband faces death in an Iraq jail'

MRNA, Used in Covid Shots, May Help Rid the Body of H.I.V.
The technology that powered Covid vaccines may also lead scientists to a cure for H.I.V. Using mRNA, Australian researchers said they were able to trick the virus to come out of hiding, a crucial step in ridding the body of it entirely. The research, published last week in Nature Communications, is still preliminary, and so far, has been shown to be successful only in a lab. But it suggests that mRNA has potential far beyond its use in vaccines as a means to deliver therapies against stubborn adversaries. Short for messenger RNA, mRNA is a set of instructions for a gene. In the case of Covid vaccines, the instructions were for a piece of the coronavirus. In the new study, they are for molecules key to targeting H.I.V. 'mRNA is just this miraculous — I really do think miraculous — tool to deliver things that you want into places that were not possible before,' said Dr. Sharon Lewin, director of the Cumming Global Center for Pandemic Therapeutics in Melbourne, who led the study. Vaccines deploying mRNA instruct the body to produce a fragment of the virus, which then sets off the body's immune response. In the United States, the shots were initially hailed for turning back the pandemic, then viewed by some with suspicion and fear. Some officials, including Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., have falsely said that they are highly dangerous and even deadly. Last week, the Department of Health and Human Services sought to limit the vaccine's availability to pregnant women, children and healthy younger adults. The administration also canceled a nearly $600 million contract with the drugmaker Moderna to develop an mRNA shot for humans against bird flu. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
