130 days at the airport

Pajamas Media updates the wretched tale of Zahra Kamalfar and her children, who in fleeing Iran are still stuck in Moscow’s Sheremetyavo Airport despite efforts by, among others, American lawyers:

"What accounts for this behavior? Sources speculate both the Russians and the Iranians have reason to fear Kamalfar. She may have a lot to talk about when and if she finally gets asylum – including extreme mistreatment by the Russian airport personnel before this case came into public view and even more brutal and abusive treatment by the Iranians while she was in prison. Kamalfar’s husband disappeared in Iran under mysterious circumstances."

Somebody should ask Putin why his government is so dysfunctional on this case.
