Asylum or death? A former member of the Iranian F.l. group faces deportation from Holland The European Union countries are using their new policy of "critical dialogue" with Iran to justity the deportation of retugees trom the Mullahs reaime. Holland nas already deported 20 Iranian asylum seekers. At least one was arrested and tortured when he arrived in Iran.

A similar fate now faces Bahman Mouri Sardarabadi, who fled Iran after being arrested and tortured because of his membership of the Iranian Fourth Internationalist group HKS (Socialist Workers Party). The Dutch authorities have now rejected nis asylum appeal, and plan to deport him back to almost certain death.

Hundreds of protest signatures have already been collected. A range of political, anti-racist, and youth groups, and Members of the German, Danish and European Parliaments are urging the Dutch authorities to grant Bahman political asylum.

We ask all readers to protest against the impending expulsion of Bahman Mouri Sardarabadi and to demand political asylum for him.
