Kamalfar family's deportation postponed for 2 weeks!

Dear Friends & Compatriots,

For those of you who read the previous PLEA for HELPING an IRANIAN REFUGEE FAMILY and followed up on it with relevant human rights bodies and the russian government - THANK YOU!

Ana, the daughter of Ms Kamalfar, tried to commit suicide as they were about to deport the family back to occupied Iran. This desperate act, by our young compatriot, FORCED the Russian authorities to postpone the deportation. A day later the outcry, regarding the extremely poor living conditions conditions provided by the Russian government to the Kamalfar's family, and imminent deportation to the terrorist Islamic Republic FORCED the European Court of Human Rights to issue an order barring any deportation of Mrs Kamalfar and her family for at least the coming 2 WEEKS. We need to continue pressuring relevant organizations and government bodies PROTECT the Kamalfar family from being deported to Iran where their lives would be in danger.

The MSM has also been FORCED to report on this with CNN covering it today. Please see the below report by PyjamasMedia - many thanks to PM's dedicated work for the Iranian Nation; suffering under occupation of a brutal Islamic force.



This is a big punch in the mouths of the Islamic Republic's lackey's in the west and the leaders of the occupational Islamic regime in Iran. We will not let them take this family away from us.

Iranian REFUGEES suffering unbearable conditions at Moscow Airport!

That the day would come when we would speak of IRANIAN REFUGEES must have been taken as an insult or at best a joke by the late Shah of Iran! But here we are! 27 years after His Majesty was betrayed by his people and so-called allies in Europe and America - speaking of the inhumane conditions Iranian refugees, who have fled the Islamic Republic from HELL occupying their country, have to endure!

Iranian refugee family stranded at Moscow Airport for months suffering unbearable conditions!

See: http://ardeshird.blogspot.com/2006/1...sty.html#links


An Iranian refugee family has been imprisoned in the Russian capital for 18 months. Zahra Kamalfar is an Iranian citizen made a refugee claim, together with her two minor children, Ana (DOB 1367-11-02) and Davood (DOB 1373-3-25) through UNHCR in Russia on or about May 3, 2005.

Originally, Zahra and the children were being kept at a hotel at the airport. However, several months ago, they were evicted from the hotel and forced to sleep in the open terminal. They have not had access to shower facilities and are restricted to public toilets.

Zahra and her husband were involved in demonstrations in Iran in the year 2000. In July 8 2004, Zahra was arrested and held in jail. Zahra was in jail for 8 months. Then she was released on a 48 hour pass to visit her family. She immediately fled Iran with her two children on April 6 2005. She and her two children went to Turkey on a false Bulgarian passport arranged by a smuggler. Zahra and her children then traveled from Turkey, transiting through Russia on their way to Germany. When they arrived in Germany, the authenticity of their passports was questioned. Zahra made asylum claims but their asylum claims were refused by German immigration authorities and then they were sent back to Russia. When they returned to Russia, they were detained by the Russian authorities. The Russian authorities then assaulted her and her daughter. The Russian authorities want to send Zahra and her children back to Iran. Zahra is afraid to return to Iran as she believes she will be sent to jail and run the risk of rape, torture and possibly death. She also fears her daughter will be at risk of being sexually assaulted and raped.

The Russian authorities now want to deport the family to Iran; something that the family is convinced will be devastating to their lives and safety. The Russian authorities are imposing pressure on the family by having them stranded in the transit hall of the Moscow International Airport for months, denying them all access to the most basic needs, including shower, proper food, etc. Regardless of the legalities of their case, this is a clear breach of all human rights principles.

Russia acceded to the 1951 Refugee Convention in 1993. As a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention, Russia is responsible for carrying out the refugee status determination procedure and granting asylum to those people who are entitled to it.

We strongly urge the Russian immigration authorities and UNHCR in Russia to review Miss Zahra Kamalfar's case and grant her and her children refugee recognition based on her well-founded fear of future persecution and execution.
