Wie das iranische Flüchtlingsnetzwerk IRQR.NET in einer dringenden Anfrage mitteilte, plant die norwegische Regierung die Abschiebung des 40-jährigen Homosexuellen, Asghar Hedayati, in den Iran.
Hedayati floh bereits 2003 aus dem Iran, nachdem er von seiner Familie zu einer Hochzeit mit einer Frau gezwungen worden war, jedoch über seine Liebe zu seinem Freund nicht hinwegkam. Nachdem bereits Dänemark den Asylantrag ablehnte, floh Hedayati Richtung Norwegen, wo jetzt völlig überraschend und gegen europäisches Menschenrecht die Ausweisung für den 25. Januar 2010 angedroht wird.
Nur wenige europäische Staaten, darunter Spanien, haben bisher ihre Asylrichtlinien um das Merkmal der sexuellen Verfolgung erweitert, obwohl Schwulen häufig die Todesstrafe droht, sollten sie in Länder wie den Iran ausgeliefert werden. ck
IRQR.NET bittet darum, E-Mails und Briefe an die norwegische Regierung zu senden und eine Rücknahme der Abschiebung zu erbitten:
"Please show your support by writing to the Norwegian government to urge them to grant refugee status to Asghar Hedayati. You may copy and paste the sample letters (below) into an email and send it to the provide emails below or you may write your own letter in support of Asghar Hedayati. Please CC IRQR: info@irqr.net for tracking purposes. Thank you for your support."

Subject: Norway threatens to deport Asghar Hedayati to Iran - Please stop him deportation
Dear Minister,
I am contacting you to request your assistance on a very urgent case involving Asghar Hedayati a gay Iranian, who is currently in Norway. I received some information about him through the IRanian Railroad for Queer Refugees, based in Toronto, Canada.
Asghar Hedayati is a citizen of Iran, with case number DUF 2003 046 114 08. He escaped Iran in 2003 because of his well-known fear of persecution on basis of his sexual orientation. He applied for asylum in August 2003, but the Norwegian Government unfortunately denied his asylum status for several times and he is now at risk for deportation.
His asylum judge said that he can live in Iran if does not 'come out', which is against fundamental human rights. I would like to express my deep concern about his situation, as he will experience imprisonment, torture, and even execution upon his forced return to Iran.
I am urging you to reconsider this case under the spirit of respect for human rights and I am requesting you to grant Iranian queer refugees the full state of asylum in Norway because there a lot of evidence that Iranian queers in Iran are threatened because of their sexual orientation and gender identity.
Sincerely
