Two prominent Iranian Aids doctors have been jailed for a total of nine years for their part in an alleged coup plot.

Brothers Arash Alaei and Kamyar Alaei were accused of being "key elements" in a plan Iran said was backed by the CIA.

The prison sentences were imposed after a secret trial and have provoked strong protests from human rights groups.
