Re: Imminent Deportation of Mr.Abdulah Azadi

Case No: A - 7854

________________________

The International Federation of Iranian Refugees (IFIR) turkey branch is writing to express its strong concern over the imminent deportation of Mr.Abdulah Azadi.  IFIR turkey branch urges the Turkish government to immediately intervene to stop the deportation because he is a member of the worker comunist party of iran and we ask UNHCR to re-open Mr.Abdulah Azadi 's closed case file and  grant HIS 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, labor, student, youth, women's and civil rights activists, and others, and since Mr.Abdulah Azadi has a well-founded fear of persecution, IFIR is deeply concerned that Mr.Abdulah Azadi will face persecution and a threat to HIS life and safety if refouled to Iran.

IFIR turkey branch  looks forward to Turkish government s immediate response.

Needless to say, the IFIR holds  the international organizations  accountable for Mr.Abdulah Azadi 's life. 

Yours Sincerely

Moayed Abdulahi
