IMPORTANT THREAD

1-I call on Turkish government not to deport Iranian refugees to Iran

Afshin Sohrabzadeh’s wife sent me this video from Muğla, Turkey

Her husband, a political refugee according to UN, is kept with his hands & feet tied.

They can send him to Iran any time

2-Another Iranian refugee who faces deportation is Ismail Fattahi. He had participated in protests to support Turkish women’s fight against violence and support #IstanbulConvention. He’s presently in a camp in Aydın.

3-Do you recall Zeynab Safari? She’d dressed up as a man to enter the stadium (banned to women) in Iran. She escaped to Turkey to seek refuge.

Recall that when the regime in Iran arrested Sahra Khodayari for entering the stadium, Sahar committed suicide after what she suffered.

4-Leila Faraji, kept in a camp in Aydın, also faces deportation. She was arrested by Turkish authorities for participating in a demonstration in support of Turkish women’s fight against violence

She’s seen holding a picture of her sister’s, killed violently by the regime in Iran
