Urgent Action
INTERVENE
TO SAVE HIS AND HIS LIFE
Srirvan Ghaderi, an Iranian political activist, who fled Iran because
of persecution at the hands of the Islamic regime of Iran three dayes ago has
been detained by the Turkish police in the city of Ankara in Turkey and is due to be deported back to
Iran.
Sirvan Ghaderi has a well-founded fear of persecution based on
political opinion and social activities against the Iranian regime .He was sent
reports to a report and a researcher (marya).He is a known political
activist and a member of the IFIR-Turkey branch .By any standards, Ghaderi must
be recognised as a refugee by the UNHCR. Gaderi has been interviewed and till
now there is no decision on his request for asylum by the United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) office in Turkey. During this time, Sirvan Gaderi has been subjected to appalling
physical and mental pressures with no support from the UNHCR office in Turkey.
The International Federation of Iranian Refugees (IFIR) demands that
Sirvan Ghaderi be granted refugee status, his deportation order be cancelled
and that he be immediately released.
Sirvan Ghaderi’s life is in serious danger. IFIR calls on concerned
individuals and organisations to intervene and put pressure on the UNHCR and
the Turkish government to release him immediately and grant him protection.
Please send your protest letters to the UNHCR and the Turkish
government with copies to IFIR.
