Turkish government returns 2 rrested refugees to the Islamic regime

Iran Press News: Last week 2 Iranian asylum-seekers named Saeed-Ali Doust and Aideen Sarai who had been living in the city of Van, in Turkey were deported by Turkish police and returned to Iran.

The 2 men had appeared at the police headquarters in order to sign their usual weekly foreign nationals register when the special police of Van arrested them. The Turkish police knowing that the lives of the 2 refugees would be in grave danger in Iran, willfully ignored that fact and after a few hours interrogation, cruelly deported them back to Iran.

These 2 refugees are former members of an anti-regime organization who left the group two years and took refuge in Turkey, registering with Turkey’s office of the United Nations High Council on Human Rights for asylum.

It is worth mentioning that early this summer, the 2 asylum seekers had been arrested and handed over to Iran border forces but they escaped and once again reached the UN high commission for refugees in the city of Van. They can both face execution in Iran.
