The flight that will take young Medhi Kazemi
from Amsterdam to London, from where he will be deported to
Iran, is booked for tuesday february 26th. Everyone Group is
appealing to the European Union to overrule the British
government's decision, and grant the 19-year-old political
asylum.
Medhi is an Iranian homosexual who in November
2005 left Teheran to go and study in London. He was forced
to apply for asylum to the British Home Office after the
discovery, by the Iranian authorities of his homosexual
relationship with another boy, who had already been
sentenced to death and executed in April 2006.
"We invite civil society to express its
indignation towards the actions of the British Government,
aimed at undermining the values of freedom and dignity of
the individual".
