Bita Ghaedi, an asylum seeker from Iran seeking refuge in the United Kingdom, has endured rape, beatings and mental torture at the hands of her family and could be hunted down and killed by members of her family if she returned to Iran.
There is no reason to deny her asylum claim. But the British government has refused her case.
On April 16, despite 2700+ letters to UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband, and requests from organizations like Amnesty International, Bita Ghaedi was detained and set for deportation this coming Tuesday, April 20.
Up the pressure on UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband to personally intervene to ensure Bita Ghaedi is NOT forced to return to Iran, where it is certain she would be arrested and in physical danger under the current regime.
