Save a family from deportation to Iran!


by Sunny Hundal    

We have just a matter of a couple of days to save this 10-year old and his mother from deportation to Iran.

“Child M” and his mother, Farah Ghaemi, face deportation to Iran where Farah and her 23-year old daughter face persecution for distributing the ‘Satanic Verses’.

“Child M” is already traumatised by his incarceration at Yarl’s Wood detention centre.

Gerald Kaufman MP on Woman’s Hour, explains the case

The Guardian report is here

More details of the campaign here

What Can You Do?
1. Sign the online petition here

2. Write to (or, preferably, email) the Home Secretary
This is one of the best ways you can help the campaign. In it you need to:
- include Home Office reference numbers: G1158044, G1158044/2 and G1158044/7
- ask for the whole family to be given leave to remain
- say why Child “M” and his family would be in danger if they are sent back to Iran
- express concern at how Child “M” and his family have been treated
- send it to the Home Secretary, Home Office, 2 Marsham Street London, SW1P 4DF, or email: Rt Hon Theresa May MP, Home Secretary: mayt@parliament.uk

I’ll help them. I’ve got a couple of old suit cases they can borrow.

What an awful thing to say. I’m gonna tell Sally
