Petition: Save Rahman Nazary from deportation!

Rahman Nazary is 23 years old. He came to the UK in September 2005 when he was 18, in the back of a lorry, after fearing for his life and needing to escape from the Iranian regime. His asylum application was refused in November 2005 and became a Christian in 2007, something for which he would be persecuted for if he was to be forcibly deported back to Iran.

Latest: Rhahman has been issued with a deportation order and the electronic tag has been removed! Please, sign the petition!

Instead of offering Rahman safety, the UKBA have turned down all his appeals so far.

It is time for the UKBA to admit that it is totally unacceptable for Iranian refugees to be returned to Iran, as they inevitably face imprisonment, torture, lashing and persecution as a result of being a member of a vulnerable group such as converted Christians. Please sign the petition demanding that Rahman be able to stay in the UK and afforded the human rights he deserves.
