RE: Imminent
Deportation of MR, Babak shadidi
_________________
The International Federation of
Iranian Refugees (IFIR) turkey branch is writing to express its strong concern
over the imminent deportation of MR,
Babak shadidi, IFIR urges the UNHCR to immediately intervene to stop the deportation
and IFIR urges the UNHCR to reopen, MR,
Babak shadidi 's closed case file, grant
HIM refugee recognition, and expedite HIS resettlement to a safe third country.
Since the Iranian government continues
to be a major abuser of civil rights and systematically persecutes political
opponents, religious minorities, women, gays, ethnic groups, labour, student,
youth, women's and civil rights activists, and others, and since MR, Babak
shadidi has a well-founded fear of persecution, IFIR is deeply concerned that
MR, Babak shadidi will face persecution and a threat to HIS/HER life and safety
if refouled to Iran.
IFIR looks forward to the UNHCR's
immediate response.
Needless to say, the IFIR holds Turkish
Government accountable for MR, shadidi 's life.
Yours Sincerely
