Do NOT send Kaveh Ghandizadeh Dezfuli back to Iran
Do not sent Kaveh Ghandizadeh Dezfuli back to Iran.
Why is this important?
Kaveh Ghandizadeh Dezfuli has been detained by UK immigration authorities since the 15th December 2015, the same day he was asked to present his fresh claim for asylum. His previous claim in 2013 failed because British courts refuse to recognise the severity of the Islamic Regime in dealing with 'westernized' Iranian nationals who apparently tarnish the reputation of Islam.
Despite submitting strong evidence that his many television appearances on the popular Manoto TV - a satellite station recorded in London and broadcast illegally to Iran - with known dissident musicians such as Shahram Shabpareh (a very famous Iranian musician and writer of explicitly anti-regime songs) make him a target for abuse, torture and imprisonment by the Islamic Regime, no interview was granted and the fresh claim was not accepted.
Mr Dezfuli was given a limited notice of removal on the 27th December, informing him he would be removed between the 30th December and the 20th January 2016. He was not given at least two working days to challenge the decision. The only day the courts would have been open between the 27th and 30th December was Tuesday 28th.
Kaveh Ghandizadeh is a great friend to many and a huge part of the London music community. Please do not endanger this person's life, in breach of the ECHR. This is a kind, honorable and gentle man who has never committed any crime (other than the 'crime' of being a westernized musician) and poses no threat to our national security.
