Getting asylum is just CRAZZY these days.[quote]
Last November 18, Pajamas Media presented exclusive video smuggled out of Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport of Iranian dissident Zahra Kamalfar and her two children who had then been trapped in the airport’s transit area - forced to drink and bathe from the toilets - for over 73 days. (See video here, other coverage here and here.) Kamalfar had escaped Iran with her family during a prison furlough and was fighting extradition back to the Islamic Republic while seeking political asylum in other countries.
Incredible as it may seem - despite efforts by the United Nations Refugee Committee, the European Human Rights Court and lawyers and activists worldwide - Kamalfar and her family are still trapped in the same airport transit area over two months later. [/quote]
