Exiled Iranian Writer's Story

Farout | 10.08.2004 21:36 | Anti-racism | Migration | London

A man forced to leave his country and family for his views,

How England hosts people who run in fear. Misunderstood by his own country, he has the freedom here to write as he wants. He cannot find a job easily but has sacrificed seeing any member of his family for ten years for the freedom to express himself through writing.
