According to the latest news, crowds of people have
been gathering at the Vancouver Airport waiting for
the arrival of Mrs Kamalfar.
Activists representing IFIR carrying bouquets of
flowers are also amongst the crowd anticipating the
arrival of Mrs Kamalfar and her children. Amongst
the crowd at the Airport, many reporters from
different news agencies are looking forward to
producing audio-visual reports of the event.
Tahmineh Sadeghi, The secretariat of the Vancouver
branch of IFIR is overwhelmed by reporters in
answering their questions about the tragic and
horrific life of Mrs Kamalfar and her children
during the last 9 months and about the campaign
organised by IFIR in order to save them. In the
meantime, many reporters have also contacted and
held interviews with Farshad Hosseini, the General
Secretary of IFIR, about the campaign to save Mrs
Kamalfar.
The news about the success of the campaign for Zahra
Kamalfar and her children was the cause for
celebration and jubilation for many people around
the world. IFIR’s campaign to save Zahra Kamalfar
attracted a lot of the international community’s
attention. Millions of people’s hearts are beating
for Zahra Kamalfar and her family and are counting
the minutes of their arrival in Canada.
One of the most important outcomes of this
successful international campaign of IFIR was the
fact that it turned a hopeless, homeless and
helpless woman and her family into heroes,
celebrities and the topic of international media in
the eyes of the public. This can only be the show of
unity in defence of humanity being reflected by the
international news media via their cameras. This is
the show of the international solidarity in defence
of the rights of refugees and human life which has
mesmerized the whole world. This is the strength and
the potential of the civilised humanity front which
has turned into international news flash about the
arrival of Mrs Kamalfar and her children in
Canada.
Hambastegi IFIR is taking this opportunity to raise
the bill of indictment against the Islamic Republic
of Iran for the hardship suffered by all the Iranian
refugees and all those who fled Iran, before
hundreds of the world’s reporters and their cameras.
In this given opportunity, we ask for the support of
our peoples’ struggle for the revolutionary
overthrow of the Islamic Republic regime as the root
cause of millions of Iranians as refugees.
We shall keep you informed of Mrs Kamalfar’s arrival
at Vancouver’s airport.
