Iran: return

An Iranian woman and her 2 children of 17 and 12 years old are stranded for 8 months now, at Moscow Airport.
Zahra Kamalfar and her children wanted to flee to Canada through Russia and Germany, but because of the fact they were travelling on forged Bulgarian passports, German authorities sent them back to the last place they came from: Moscow Airport.

Also because the woman and the daughter attempted to commit suicide, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees granted them in November 2006 refugee status.
She asked Canada for asylum,because her brother lives there for years.
Up till now Canadian Immigration authorities did not react.

On YouTube you find a film of CNN-news.




Conservative "Osulgarayan"(loyal to principles) members of parliament in Iran drafted to limit access to female students.
Today, 65 percent of university students in Iran are women.
Rad Ali Tahmasebi, one of the lawmakers who drafted the bill, says that once they have studied, many young women refuse to stay home and take care of their husband and children, and therefore many marriages end.
Also he said that the increase in the average marrying age of women on university attendance, too was a "threat for an Islamic society such as Iran's".
During legislature prior to the election in June 2005 of Ahmadinejad, a similar proposal got blocked.
