Airport refugees in Canada

Posted on March 22, 2007 | Comments Off on Airport refugees in Canada

Zahra Kamalfar and her children, who were forced to hole up for 10 months in a Moscow airport because the Putin gang didn’t want to insult its Iranian business partners, have finally made it to freedom, according to Snoopy the Goon.

"I am happy that her suffering is over. We all should be happy that she has escaped the talons of Iranian ‘security’ apparatus. Hopefully, she will be able to recover and lead a normal life after the tragic years in one of the most oppressive regimes in existence."

UPDATE  I linked to Snoop because he and I had followed this. But Shlemazl had it first.

Fleeing Iran

Posted on November 21, 2006 | Comments Off on Fleeing Iran

Where is the UN refugee agency when it’s needed? Sucking up to the Iranians, apparently.

Iranian dissident Zahra Kamalfar and her two teenage children are trapped in the Moscow airport, trying to avoid deportation back to Iran. An international law firm is trying to help. Meanwhile the Russian authorities are cooperating with Iranian intelligence. So to speak.

The MSM is curiously absent on this story. But Pajamas Media has updates and Lone Star Times. Both have email addresses where you can protest.

UPDATE  On the day before Thanksgiving, there appears to be some progress in the case. "Pajamas Media, as of 9:10 PST today, has been informed that the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg has just issued an order barring the deportation of Zahra Kamalfar and her children from Moscow for two weeks."
