URGENT INTERNATIONAL APPEAL: SAVE LIVES BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

<\/h3>\n

Every Political Refugee Has the Right to Live in Safety<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Save Iranian Refugees Campaign issues this urgent appeal to the United Nations (UNHCR, OHCHR, Human Rights Council), the European Union, the Government of Iraq, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), international trade unions, and human rights organisations worldwide.<\/h3>\n

THE CRISIS<\/span><\/h3>\n

Hundreds of Iranian political refugees in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq are in imminent danger. Fleeing systematic persecution, torture, and the threat of execution in Iran, they now face an environment of growing insecurity. The Islamic Republic of Iran has intensified pressure on the KRG to remove or hand over these individuals. Any forced return (refoulement) would expose them to arbitrary detention, enforced disappearance, and execution.<\/h3>\n

VULNERABILITY <\/span><\/h3>\n

Today, women, young people, and families face the greatest risks, enduring poverty, discrimination, and social hostility.<\/h3>\n

We refuse to witness another tragedy like Ghazal\u2019s. A 16-year-old member of an Iranian Kurdish opposition movement, Ghazal died after being denied timely medical care in an atmosphere shaped by political fear.<\/h3>\n

OUR URGENT DEMANDS:<\/span><\/h3>\n

1.\u00a0 Stop Deportations: Prevent any extradition or forced return to Iran.<\/h3>\n

2.\u00a0 Guarantee Safety: Ensure the immediate protection of all refugees in the KRI.<\/h3>\n

3.\u00a0 Emergency Resettlement: Call on UNHCR to establish an emergency pathway for those at immediate risk.<\/h3>\n

4.\u00a0 Protect the Vulnerable: Provide immediate support for women and children.<\/h3>\n

5.\u00a0 International Monitoring: Deploy independent human rights monitoring mechanisms.<\/h3>\n

6.\u00a0 Public Guarantee: Demand the KRG publicly commit to the principle of non-refoulement.<\/h3>\n

JOIN THE CAMPAIGN<\/span><\/h3>\n

We invite trade unions, political parties, and people of conscience to endorse this appeal. Support us by signing this statement, and sharing and contacting your governments.<\/h3>\n

Join us today. Tomorrow may be too late.<\/h3>\n
